Tries to cast the contents of @src_value into a type appropriate
to store in @dest_value, e.g. to transform a %G_TYPE_INT value
into a %G_TYPE_FLOAT value. Performing transformations between
value types might incur precision lossage. Especially
transformations into strings might reveal seemingly arbitrary
results and shouldn't be relied upon for production code (such
as rcfile value or object property serialization).
