- * Returns an opaque serial number that represents the state of the set of registered
- * types. Any time a type is registred this serial changes, which means you can
- * cache information based on type lookups (such as g_type_from_name) and know if
- * the cache is still valid at a later time by comparing the current serial with
- * the one at the type lookup.
