/* FIXME:
 * - keep registry binary blob and reference strings
 *   - don't free/unmmap contents when leaving gst_registry_binary_read_cache()
 *     - free at gst_deinit() / _priv_gst_registry_cleanup() ?
 *   - GstPlugin:
 *     - GST_PLUGIN_FLAG_CONST
 *   - GstPluginFeature, GstIndexFactory, GstElementFactory
 *     - needs Flags (GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_FLAG_CONST)
 *     - can we turn loaded into flag?
 * - why do we collect a list of binary chunks and not write immediately
 *   - because we need to process subchunks, before we can set e.g. nr_of_items
 *     in parent chunk
