I'll need to add a prompt in qofclass.h that qofquerycore.c needs work
when a new type is added.

Why do we have these duplicate names defined? What's the advantage? It
makes it more difficult because in Anjuta I can right click each
function to go to it's definition or declaration - if it's defined as
another name, that doesn't work.

Anyways, it's actually calling qof_class_get_parameter, as shown in the
error report.

I'll have to add that code to qofquerycore.

I'll look at it today, hopefully.
