<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_signal_handler_block ##### -->
<para>
g_signal_handler_block() blocks a handler of an
instance so it will not be called during any signal emissions
unless it is unblocked again. Thus "blocking" a signal handler
means to temporarily deactive it, a signal handler has to be
unblocked exactly the same amount of times it has been blocked
before to become active again.
The @handler_id passed into g_signal_handler_block() has
to be a valid signal handler id, connected to a signal of

<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_signal_handler_unblock ##### -->
<para>
g_signal_handler_unblock() undoes the effect of a previous
g_signal_handler_block() call. A blocked handler is skipped
during signal emissions and will not be invoked, unblocking
it (for exactly the amount of times it has been blocked before)
reverts its "blocked" state, so the handler will be recognized
by the signal system and is called upon future or currently
ongoing signal emissions (since the order in which handlers are
called during signal emissions is deterministic, whether the
unblocked handler in question is called as part of a currently
ongoing emission depends on how far that emission has proceeded
yet).
The @handler_id passed into g_signal_handler_unblock() has
to be a valid id of a signal handler that is connected to a
signal of @instance and is currently blocked.
