Simple API to reference data of custom type (wrapped as PointerRNA?) and do UI specific handling (e.g. lazy-caching of visible previews). We can use this to make UIList more flexible. Currently that requires an RNA collection which for various reasons is an issue for the asset view template. The current testing implementation uses a number of hacks to get it to work.
Plus, such an API could be very useful for other cases, basically everywhere where we have to efficiently visualize data-sets. It can be quite simple for now and be extended as needed later.

The pose library project doesn't rely on this, although I do plan to work on it. Just marking as low priority for organizational purposes.
