The goal would be to replace the smart children list and friends. The
problem is that they differ in content. Smart children and Eo children are
the same, but Elm children and them differ. If I put this function as a
virtual, it would be possible to override the list of children and if we
start using it in Evas render loop, that could result in "weird" behavior.
I have added the use of a simplified Eina_Trash mempool kind of feature
to have some fast path for allocation if we start using it in Evas render
loop.
Summary: This feature replaces Eo pointers with ids to prevent bad usage
or reuse of these pointers. It doesn't change API.
The mechanism uses tables storing the real pointers to the objects.
See the src/lib/eo/eo_ptr_indirection.c file for more details on the
mechanism.
