Research direction
Examine the Meson source code, specifically the gtkdoc module (likely in mesonbuild/scripts/gtkdoc.py), to understand how ignore headers currently handles file objects versus strings. Determine the expected behavior and implement support for file objects. Consider checking existing tests for gtkdoc and updating them.
