TODO: remove a few discarded API change ideas

I had some ideas about some more convenience methods from discussions
with some developers, but I decided that the newly added ones cover
most of the use cases. The other ideas were too hard to explain
clearly and therefore too specialized to put into the public API,
where I would have to support them for a long time.

@ -474,19 +474,6 @@ This is a list of changes to make next time there is an ABI change.
Comments appear in the code prefixed by "ABI". Always Search for ABI
in source and header files to find items not listed here.
* Add getKeyOrInsert("/X", oh) that returns the existing value or adds
oh as the new value and returns it.
* Add default values to the getters, like getIntValue(default_value).
If a default value is passed in, you never get a type warning.
* Make it easier to deal with objects that should be indirect. Search
for makeIndirectObject in the code to find patterns. For example, it
would be nice to have a one-liner for the case of one or all
dictionary values or array items being replaced with an indirect
objects if direct. Maybe we want a version of copyForeignObject that
takes the foreign qpdf and converts the source object to indirect
before copying, though maybe we don't because it could cause
multiple copies to be made...usually it's better to handle that
explicitly.
* Deal with weak cryptographic algorithms:
* Github issue #576
* Add something to QPDFWriter that you must call in order to allow
