	 * Registers a private structure for an instantiatable type.
	 *
	 * When an object is allocated, the private structures for
	 * the type and all of its parent types are allocated
	 * sequentially in the same memory block as the public
	 * structures, and are zero-filled.
	 *
	 * Note that the accumulated size of the private structures of
	 * a type and all its parent types cannot exceed 64 KiB.
	 *
	 * This function should be called in the type's class_init() function.
	 * The private structure can be retrieved using the
	 * G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_PRIVATE() macro.
	 *
	 * The following example shows attaching a private structure
	 * MyObjectPrivate to an object MyObject defined in the standard
	 * GObject fashion in the type's class_init() function.
	 *
	 * Note the use of a structure member "priv" to avoid the overhead
	 * of repeatedly calling MY_OBJECT_GET_PRIVATE().
