We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
This function is available to GDScript but not to GDNative. When exposed, it
allows building more ergonomic safe abstractions over the GDNative APIs, and
covers the use cases of the original PR.
Close#28478. Supersedes #28791.

Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
VarArg methods have the return type Object in the API json for GDNative. This
can cause undefined behavior in some language bindings due to lack of
documentation on VarArg methods' behavior.
This changes the MethodInfo of:
- CSharpScript::_new
- GDScript::_new
- PluginScript::_new
This was a regression in 3.1 and later from the new inspector, where
PROPERTY_HINT_SPRITE_FRAME was not fully re-implemented. It's meant to
be a normal PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE which also automatically increments its
value when keyed in the animation player.
To avoid code duplication, I made the frames properties use the actual
PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE and introduced a PROPERTY_USAGE_KEYING_INCREMENTS
usage flag instead.
Properly release added resource loader and save references. Otherwise PluginScript API
may cause "ObjectDB Instances still exist!" warnings and segmentation faults on exit.
That is, any library referred to in GDNative library resources, won't be copied to the export target path unless its path begins with `res://`.
The case use for this is a bit advanced: having a GDN library that will be deployed separately from the project; for instance, to a path in the system (like `/opt/...`).
Currently the GDN library editor doesn't allow to pick dynamic libraries outside the project, but that can be done by editing the `.gdnlib` file manually.
It's the recommended way to set those, and is more portable
(automatically prepends -D for GCC/Clang and /D for MSVC).
We still use CPPFLAGS for some pre-processor flags which are not
defines.
