It seems the issue was closed caused GDBus and other bindings follow
the D-Bus spec to the word, but how one would list interfaces in the
root '/'? So either '/' shall become special and no other interface
shall be registered there or the spec should be reworded to include
the initial path, but the former is probably not backward compatible
since afaik most bindings allow custom interfaces in '/' path.
