Description Xavier Claessens 2012-05-18 04:38:35 UTC 
They are now useless:

For CONTACT handles, we always get handle+id pairs and we have GetContactByID, so we should never have to inspect/request a contact handle.

Other types (actually only ROOM is remaining) are used for channels. In that case again we can set TARGET_ID in channel requests, and when we receive a channel we have both handle+id in its immutable properties.

So I see no use-case for InspectHandles/RequestHandles. Removing them is also a step forward to remove handles completely, even if we are still far from that.

Ah let's just do this.

+ SHOULD return the same thing that would be returned by GetContactByID
+ on a connected <tp:dbus-ref namespace="im.telepathy1"
+ >Connection</tp:dbus-ref>.</p>

tp:dbus-ref the GetContactByID please.

+ <p>The normalized contact's identifier. Not necessarily the same string
+ as passed to GetContactByID. As a special case,

Same thing.
