This looks like it was stubbed out but not implemented; the vtable
entry dates to commit 3781343738 which
is just alex's initial merge of gio into glib.
I was working on some code that wants an asynchronous rm -rf
equivalent, and so yeah, this is desirable.

Rather than doing a two step first-check-the-GAsyncResult-subtype-then-
check-the-tag, add a GAsyncResult-level method so that you can do them
both at once, simplifying the code for "short-circuit" async return
values where the vmethod never gets called.

Finish deprecating the "handle GSimpleAsyncResult errors in the
wrapper function" idiom (and protect against future GSimpleAsyncResult
deprecation warnings) by adding a "legacy" GAsyncResult method
to do it in those classes/methods where it had been traditionally
done.
(This applies only to wrapper methods; in cases where an _async
vmethod explicitly uses GSimpleAsyncResult, its corresponding _finish
vmethod still uses g_simple_async_result_propagate_error.)

Using a caller-supplied buffer for g_input_stream_read() doesn't
translate well to the semantics of many other languages, and using a
non-refcounted buffer for read_async() and write_async() makes it
impossible to manage the memory correctly currently in
garbage-collected languages.
Fix both of these issues by adding a new set of methods that work with
GBytes objects rather than plain buffers.

This essentially adds an accessor for the MimeType field in desktop files,
to retrieve the list of all mime types supported by an application.
The interface though is part of GAppInfo, so it could be implemented
in the future by other backends.

Provide public access to the GDBusConnect and object path that
GApplication is using. Prevents others from having to guess these
things for themselves based on the application ID.

Add two new methods to GProxyAddress for recovering information about
the destination URI that the proxy was created for (and modify
GProxyAddressEnumerator to set that information when creating the
GProxyAddress).
Move g_pollable_source_new() here from gpollableinputstream.c, add
g_pollable_source_new_full(), and add some new methods to do either
blocking or nonblocking reads depending on a boolean argument.

* Add resolver functions for looking up DNS records of
various types. Currently implemented: MX, TXT, SOA, SRV, NS
* Return records as GVariant tuples.
* Make the GSrvTarget lookups a wrapper over this new
functionality.
* Rework the resolver test so that it has support for
looking up MX, NS, SOA, TXT records, and uses GOptionContext

Add a function g_simple_async_result_set_check_cancellable() to provide
a GCancellable that is checked for being cancelled during the call to
g_simple_async_result_propagate_error().
This gives asynchronous operation implementations an easy way to
provide reliable cancellation of those operations -- even in the case
that a positive result has occured and is pending dispatch at the time
the operation is cancelled.

If an application (such as Nautilus) wants to show a sidebar with
devices group into different groups such as "Devices" and "Network",
it's currently up to the application itself to do the classification
(for example by looking at the URI scheme for the activation root,
e.g. smb://).
This patch adds a new identifier G_VOLUME_IDENTIFIER_KIND_CLASS that
can be set by volume monitors and used by applications.

This is needed for thread-safety ... yes, it would have been better to
make get_object() return a full reference and have something like a
peek_object() method return a borrowed reference for C convenience
(only a single vfunc would have been needed). But such an ABI break is
too late now...

g_settings_create_action() will create a GAction for the named key,
allowing it to be added to the action group of the application (so that
the setting can be directly manipulated from menus, for example).

struct sin6_addr has two additional fields that struct sin_addr
doesn't. Add support for those to GInetSocketAddress, and make sure
they don't get lost when converting between glib and native types.

This is implemented by with statfs_buffer.f_bavail (free blocks
for unprivileged users) as a default way to retrieve real free space.
Based on a patch by Marcus Carlson, bug 625751.
This can be used for debugging, or for progress UIs ("Connecting to
example.com..."), or to do low-level tweaking on the connection at
various points in the process.

Previously it was more or less assumed that GSocketConnections were
always connected, although this was not enforced. Make it explicit
that they don't need to be, and add methods to connect them, and
simplify GSocketClient by using those methods.

This interfaceifies the extra functions that were on GDBusActionGroup
for dealing with platform data.
The two main benefits of doing this:
- no longer have to do a silly song and dance in GApplication to avoid
calling GDBusActionGroup API from non-dbus-aware code
- the interface can be reused by the action group exporter to avoid
ugly and unbindable hook callbacks

Clean up the docs for GApplication and related classes.
I'm no longer writing documentation for the structure type of classes
and interfaces. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665926
for discussin on the correct way forward on this point.
Also: stop putting gtk-doc comments in installed headers.
Have one simple _get() API that returns the group immediately, in an
empty state. The group is initialised on the first attempt to interact
with it.
Leave a secret 'back door' for GApplication to do a blocking
initialisation.
