/**
* SECTION:signals
* @Short_description: A means for customization of object behaviour and a general purpose notification mechanism
* @Title: Signals
*
* The basic concept of the signal system is that of the <emphasis>emission</emphasis>
* of a signal.
* Signals are introduced per-type and are identified through strings.
* Signals introduced for a parent type are available in derived types as well,
* so basically they are a per-type facility that is inherited.
* A signal emission mainly involves invocation of a certain set of callbacks in
* precisely defined manner. There are two main categories of such callbacks,
* per-object
* i'm referring to those types as "object types" in the following, simply
* because that is the context most users will encounter signals in.
*
* ones and user provided ones.
* The per-object callbacks are most often referred to as "object method
* handler" or "default (signal) handler", while user provided callbacks are
* usually just called "signal handler".
* The object method handler is provided at signal creation time (this most
* frequently happens at the end of an object class' creation), while user
* provided handlers are frequently connected and disconnected to/from a certain
* signal on certain object instances.
*
* A signal emission consists of five stages, unless prematurely stopped:
* <variablelist>
* <varlistentry><term></term><listitem><para>
* 1 - Invocation of the object method handler for %G_SIGNAL_RUN_FIRST signals
* </para></listitem></varlistentry>
* <varlistentry><term></term><listitem><para>
* 2 - Invocation of normal user-provided signal handlers (<emphasis>after</emphasis> flag %FALSE)
* </para></listitem></varlistentry>
* <varlistentry><term></term><listitem><para>
* 3 - Invocation of the object method handler for %G_SIGNAL_RUN_LAST signals
* </para></listitem></varlistentry>
* <varlistentry><term></term><listitem><para>
* 4 - Invocation of user provided signal handlers, connected with an <emphasis>after</emphasis> flag of %TRUE
* </para></listitem></varlistentry>
* <varlistentry><term></term><listitem><para>
* 5 - Invocation of the object method handler for %G_SIGNAL_RUN_CLEANUP signals
* </para></listitem></varlistentry>
* </variablelist>
* The user-provided signal handlers are called in the order they were
* connected in.
* All handlers may prematurely stop a signal emission, and any number of
* handlers may be connected, disconnected, blocked or unblocked during
* a signal emission.
* There are certain criteria for skipping user handlers in stages 2 and 4
* of a signal emission.
* First, user handlers may be <emphasis>blocked</emphasis>, blocked handlers are omitted
* during callback invocation, to return from the "blocked" state, a
* handler has to get unblocked exactly the same amount of times
* it has been blocked before.
* Second, upon emission of a %G_SIGNAL_DETAILED signal, an additional
* "detail" argument passed in to g_signal_emit() has to match the detail
* argument of the signal handler currently subject to invocation.
* Specification of no detail argument for signal handlers (omission of the
* detail part of the signal specification upon connection) serves as a
* wildcard and matches any detail argument passed in to emission.
