I believe this is similar to this code:

https://git.linuxtv.org/libcamera.git/tree/src/gstreamer/gstlibcamera-utils.cpp#n15

But there I only used the fact that you can iterate it like any other
collection. This is a recent feature I got told (I'm quite a C++ newby, and I
like static arrays without passing and updating a size).
