[Bf-python] API overhaul - irc meeting?

> This is good. However, we are also constantly breaking things. It gives the 
impression that the API is never finished so y bother writing scripts.

Backward compatibility is a desirable goal and hopefully the number of 
iterations needed for a good API that can be frozen can significantly be 
reduced due to "use case" driven design. But premature api fixing is contra 
productive, as you will have to brake it later in the process, when you 
realize that things went that wrong, that you have to do an API overhaul. In 
fact, breaking things late in the process gives you the impression of an ever 
changing api.

BPy should create and delete objects the same way Blender's C-code does.

> Pointers can become disconnected internally but python still has a wrapped 
pointer to the subobject , which happens to be no-longer linked to it's 
parent, etc. etc.

BPy is another user of the data and should increase and decrease the user 
count accordingly.
