/**
 * GObject is the fundamental type providing the common attributes and
 * methods for all object types in GTK+, Pango and other libraries
 * based on GObject. The GObject class provides methods for object
 * construction and destruction, property access methods, and signal
 * support. Signals are described in detail in Signals(3).
 *
 * GInitiallyUnowned is derived from GObject. The only difference between
 * the two is that the initial reference of a GInitiallyUnowned is flagged
 * as a floating reference.
 * This means that it is not specifically claimed to be "owned" by
 * any code portion. The main motivation for providing floating references is
 * C convenience. In particular, it allows code to be written as:
 *
 * $(DDOC_COMMENT example)
 *
 * If container_add_child() will g_object_ref_sink() the
 * passed in child, no reference of the newly created child is leaked.
 * Without floating references, container_add_child()
 * can only g_object_ref() the new child, so to implement this code without
 * reference leaks, it would have to be written as:
 *
 * $(DDOC_COMMENT example)
 *
 * The floating reference can be converted into
 * an ordinary reference by calling g_object_ref_sink().
 * For already sunken objects (objects that don't have a floating reference
 * anymore), g_object_ref_sink() is equivalent to g_object_ref() and returns
 * a new reference.
 * Since floating references are useful almost exclusively for C convenience,
 * language bindings that provide automated reference and memory ownership
 * maintenance (such as smart pointers or garbage collection) should not
 * expose floating references in their API.
 *
 * Some object implementations may need to save an objects floating state
 * across certain code portions (an example is GtkMenu), to achieve this,
 * the following sequence can be used:
 *
 * $(DDOC_COMMENT example)

	 * Increases the reference count of the object by one and sets a
	 * callback to be called when all other references to the object are
	 * dropped, or when this is already the last reference to the object
	 * and another reference is established.
	 * This functionality is intended for binding object to a proxy
	 * object managed by another memory manager. This is done with two
	 * paired references: the strong reference added by
	 * g_object_add_toggle_ref() and a reverse reference to the proxy
	 * object which is either a strong reference or weak reference.
	 * The setup is that when there are no other references to object,
	 * only a weak reference is held in the reverse direction from object
	 * to the proxy object, but when there are other references held to
	 * object, a strong reference is held. The notify callback is called
	 * when the reference from object to the proxy object should be
	 * toggled from strong to weak (is_last_ref
	 * true) or weak to strong (is_last_ref false).
	 * Since a (normal) reference must be held to the object before
	 * calling g_object_add_toggle_ref(), the initial state of the reverse
	 * link is always strong.
	 * Multiple toggle references may be added to the same gobject,
	 * however if there are multiple toggle references to an object, none
	 * of them will ever be notified until all but one are removed. For
	 * this reason, you should only ever use a toggle reference if there
