-A #GRelation is a table of data which can be indexed on any number of fields,
-rather like simple database tables. A #GRelation contains a number of
-records, called tuples. Each record contains a number of fields.
-Records are not ordered, so it is not possible to find the record at a
-particular index.
-
-
-Note that #GRelation tables are currently limited to 2 fields.
-
-
-To create a GRelation, use g_relation_new().
-
-
-To specify which fields should be indexed, use g_relation_index().
-Note that this must be called before any tuples are added to the #GRelation.
-
-
-To add records to a #GRelation use g_relation_insert().
-
-
-To determine if a given record appears in a #GRelation, use
-g_relation_exists(). Note that fields are compared directly, so pointers
-must point to the exact same position (i.e. different copies of the same
-string will not match.)
-
-
-To count the number of records which have a particular value in a given
-field, use g_relation_count().
-
-
-To get all the records which have a particular value in a given field,
-use g_relation_select(). To access fields of the resulting records,
-use g_tuples_index(). To free the resulting records use g_tuples_destroy().
-
-
-To delete all records which have a particular value in a given field,
-use g_relation_delete().
-
-
-To destroy the #GRelation, use g_relation_destroy().
-
-
-To help debug #GRelation objects, use g_relation_print().
