I don't think we should treat introspection support as a priority.

As far as C headers go, forward-declaring struct wpe_view_backend type is enough.

That depends on what platform-specific WPEBackend implementation (which provides its own headers) the user is leveraging.

If it's passed to the constructor, ownership is not passed. If WPE::View has to load the interface-implementing object manually, then it's owned by that WPE::View object. Note this isn't currently implemented in such a manner, and should be fixed.
