/**
 * SECTION:gboxed
 * @Short_description: A mechanism to wrap opaque C structures registered
 *                     by the type system
 *
 * @See_also: #GParamSpecBoxed, g_param_spec_boxed()
 *
 * @Title: Boxed Types
 *
 * GBoxed is a generic wrapper mechanism for arbitrary C structures. The only
 * thing the type system needs to know about the structures is how to copy and
 * free them, beyond that they are treated as opaque chunks of memory.
 *
 * Boxed types are useful for simple value-holder structures like rectangles or
 * points. They can also be used for wrapping structures defined in non-GObject
 * based libraries.
