<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_value_type_transformable ##### -->
<para>
Check whether g_value_transform() is able to transform values
of type @src_type into values of type @dest_type.
</para>
@src_type:
@dest_type:
@Returns:
@src_type: Source type.
@dest_type: Target type.
@Returns: %TRUE if the transformation is possible, %FALSE otherwise.
<!-- ##### FUNCTION g_value_transform ##### -->
<para>
Tries to cast the contents of @src_value into a type apropriate
to store in @dest_value, e.g. to transform a %G_TYPE_INT value
into a %G_TYPE_FLOAT value. Performing transformations between
value types might incour precision lossage. Especially
transformations into strings might reveal seemingly arbitrary
results and shouldn't be relied upon for production code (such
as rcfile value or object property serialization).
</para>
@src_value:
@dest_value:
@Returns:
@src_value: Source value.
@dest_value: Target value.
@Returns: Whether a transformation rule was found and could be applied.
Upon failing transformations, @dest_value is left untouched.
