* Construction parameters (see #G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT, #G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY)

* Note that in C, small integer types in variable argument lists are promoted
* up to #gint or #guint as appropriate, and read back accordingly. #gint is 32
* bits on every platform on which GLib is currently supported. This means that
* you can use C expressions of type #gint with g_object_new() and properties of
* type #gint or #guint or smaller. Specifically, you can use integer literals
* with these property types.
*
* When using property types of #gint64 or #guint64, you must ensure that the
* value that you provide is 64 bit. This means that you should use a cast or
* make use of the %G_GINT64_CONSTANT or %G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macros.
*
* Similarly, #gfloat is promoted to #gdouble, so you must ensure that the value
* you provide is a #gdouble, even for a property of type #gfloat.
*
* Returns: (transfer full) (type GObject.Object): a new instance of
* @object_type
