Good idea.

Not a good idea because Gst::Bin#[] already exists, and Gst::Bin
inherits from Gst::Element.

Good idea.

I do not see any descriptive function in the GstElement API to use.=20
If we create such a method what should we return?

I do not see the point there.  We already have
Gst::Caps#get_structure.  We can not replace it with
Gst::Caps#structure because it takes a parameter, then it violates the
naming rules.

This is a bug :)  Please report it with a sample piece of code, so I can fi=
x it.

Thanks for the feedback!  I will implement that for the next release.
