The [property@Gtk.Widget:hexpand-set] property will be set
automatically when you call [method@Gtk.Widget.set_hexpand]
to set hexpand, so the most likely reason to use this function
would be to unset an explicit expand flag.
If hexpand is set, then it overrides any computed
expand value based on child widgets. If hexpand is not
set, then the expand value depends on whether any
children of the widget would like to expand.
There are few reasons to use this function, but it’s here
for completeness and consistency.
