38  * #GAction represents a single named action.
39  * 
40  * The main interface to an action is that it can be activated with
41  * g_action_activate().  This results in the 'activate' signal being
42  * emitted.  An activation has a #GVariant parameter (which may be
43  * %NULL).  The correct type for the parameter is determined by a static
44  * parameter type (which is given at construction time).
45  * 
46  * An action may optionally have a state, in which case the state may be
47  * set with g_action_change_state().  This call takes a #GVariant.  The
48  * correct type for the state is determined by a static state type
49  * (which is given at construction time).
50  * 
51  * The state may have a hint associated with it, specifying its valid
52  * range.
53  * 
54  * #GAction is merely the interface to the concept of an action, as
55  * described above.  Various implementations of actions exist, including
56  * #GSimpleAction.
57  * 
58  * In all cases, the implementing class is responsible for storing the
59  * name of the action, the parameter type, the enabled state, the
60  * optional state type and the state and emitting the appropriate
61  * signals when these change.  The implementor is responsible for filtering
62  * calls to g_action_activate() and g_action_change_state() for type
63  * safety and for the state being enabled.
64  * 
65  * Probably the only useful thing to do with a #GAction is to put it
66  * inside of a #GSimpleActionGroup.

106 	 *
107 	 * Detailed action names can have three formats.
108 	 *
109 	 * The first format is used to represent an action name with no target
110 	 * value and consists of just an action name containing no whitespace
111 	 * nor the characters ':', '(' or ')'.  For example: "app.action".
112 	 *
113 	 * The second format is used to represent an action with a target value
114 	 * that is a non-empty string consisting only of alphanumerics, plus '-'
115 	 * and '.'.  In that case, the action name and target value are
116 	 * separated by a double colon ("::").  For example:
117 	 * "app.action::target".
118 	 *
119 	 * The third format is used to represent an action with any type of
120 	 * target value, including strings.  The target value follows the action
121 	 * name, surrounded in parens.  For example: "app.action(42)".  The
122 	 * target value is parsed using g_variant_parse().  If a tuple-typed
123 	 * value is desired, it must be specified in the same way, resulting in
124 	 * two sets of parens, for example: "app.action((1,2,3))".  A string
125 	 * target can be specified this way as well: "app.action('target')".
126 	 * For strings, this third format must be used if * target value is
127 	 * empty or contains characters other than alphanumerics, '-' and '.'.
128 	 *
129 	 * Params:
130 	 *     detailedName = a detailed action name
