We still need a v4 respinning this to use virTypedParameter; I can help
by posting a patch 1/8 that shows the changes that I think we need in
the public interface, but I don't want to spend the time rebasing the
entire series.

This is more along the lines of what I'm looking for in patch 1/8 (as a diff against your v3 attempt at 1/8). Obviously, it doesn't compile as is, so much as focus on the public interface aspect:
