Question:

Does a DirectBuffer itself "belong" to a target, or it's entry in
ggi_db_list ?

If you're using int *idtag in ggi_db_list, then it's obviously the latter.

But I think the former case is more useful/convenient, if you want to move
buffers around or not have them in a ggi_db_list.  Is the paranoid
encapsulation necessary?

e.g.

ggi_directbuffer *db = _ggi_db_get_new(int idtag);
