One important caveat of this second approach is that it will keep the object
alive indefinitely if the main loop is stopped before the `GSource` is
invoked, which may be undesirable.
## Tutorial
`GMainContext` is complicated, and can be particularly intimidating for
developers new to working with GLib. Unfortunately, improper use of
`GMainContext` often results in bugs that may be difficult to debug. The
[Main Contexts tutorial](https://developer.gnome.org/documentation/tutorials/main-contexts.html)
provides valuable guidance for developers working with `GMainContext`
and is highly recommended reading. In particular, the section
[Using GMainContext in a Library](https://developer.gnome.org/documentation/tutorials/main-contexts.html#using-gmaincontext-in-a-library)
documents several pitfalls that library authors should avoid.
