/**
* SECTION: gvarianttype
* @title: GVariantType
* @short_description: introduction to the GVariant type system
* @see_also: #GVariantType, #GVariant
*
* This section introduces the GVariant type system. It is based, in
* large part, on the DBus type system, with two major changes and some minor
* lifting of restrictions. The <ulink
* url='http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html'>DBus
* specification</ulink>, therefore, provides a significant amount of
* information that is useful when working with GVariant.
*
* The first major change with respect to the DBus type system is the
* introduction of maybe (or "nullable") types. Any type in GVariant can be
* converted to a maybe type, in which case, "nothing" (or "null") becomes a
* valid value. Maybe types have been added by introducing the
* character "<literal>m</literal>" to type strings.
*
* The second major change is that the GVariant type system supports the
* concept of "indefinite types" -- types that are less specific than
* the normal types found in DBus. For example, it is possible to speak
* of "an array of any type" in GVariant, where the DBus type system
* would require you to speak of "an array of integers" or "an array of
* strings". Indefinite types have been added by introducing the
* characters "<literal>*</literal>", "<literal>?</literal>" and
* "<literal>r</literal>" to type strings.
*
* Finally, all arbitrary restrictions relating to the complexity of
* types are lifted along with the restriction that dictionary entries
* may only appear nested inside of arrays.
*
* Just as in DBus, GVariant types are described with strings ("type
* strings"). Subject to the differences mentioned above, these strings
* are of the same form as those found in DBus. Note, however: DBus
* always works in terms of messages and therefore individual type
* strings appear nowhere in its interface. Instead, "signatures"
* are a concatenation of the strings of the type of each argument in a
* message. GVariant deals with single values directly so GVariant type
* strings always describe the type of exactly one value. This means
* that a DBus signature string is generally not a valid GVariant type
* string -- except in the case that it is the signature of a message
* containing exactly one argument.
*
* An indefinite type is similar in spirit to what may be called an
* abstract type in other type systems. No value can exist that has an
* indefinite type as its type, but values can exist that have types
* that are subtypes of indefinite types. That is to say,
* g_variant_get_type() will never return an indefinite type, but
* calling g_variant_is_a() with an indefinite type may return %TRUE.
* For example, you can not have a value that represents "an array of no
* particular type", but you can have an "array of integers" which
* certainly matches the type of "an array of no particular type", since
* "array of integers" is a subtype of "array of no particular type".
*
* This is similar to how instances of abstract classes may not
* directly exist in other type systems, but instances of their
* non-abstract subtypes may. For example, in GTK, no object that has
* the type of #GtkBin can exist (since #GtkBin is an abstract class),
* but a #GtkWindow can certainly be instantiated, and you would say
* that the #GtkWindow is a #GtkBin (since #GtkWindow is a subclass of
* #GtkBin).
*
* A detailed description of GVariant type strings is given here:
*
* <refsect2 id='gvariant-typestrings'>
* <title>GVariant Type Strings</title>
* <para>
* A GVariant type string can be any of the following:
* </para>
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem>
* <para>
* any basic type string (listed below)
* </para>
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* <para>
* "<literal>v</literal>", "<literal>r</literal>" or
* "<literal>*</literal>"
* </para>
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* <para>
* one of the characters '<literal>a</literal>' or
* '<literal>m</literal>', followed by another type string
* </para>
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* <para>
* the character '<literal>(</literal>', followed by a concatenation
* of zero or more other type strings, followed by the character
* '<literal>)</literal>'
* </para>
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* <para>
* the character '<literal>{</literal>', followed by a basic type
* string (see below), followed by another type string, followed by
* the character '<literal>}</literal>'
* </para>
* </listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* <para>
* A basic type string describes a basic type (as per
* g_variant_type_is_basic()) and is always a single
* character in length. The valid basic type strings are
* "<literal>b</literal>", "<literal>y</literal>",
* "<literal>n</literal>", "<literal>q</literal>",
* "<literal>i</literal>", "<literal>u</literal>",
* "<literal>x</literal>", "<literal>t</literal>",
* "<literal>h</literal>", "<literal>d</literal>",
* "<literal>s</literal>", "<literal>o</literal>",
* "<literal>g</literal>" and "<literal>?</literal>".
* </para>
* <para>
* The above definition is recursive to arbitrary depth.
* "<literal>aaaaai</literal>" and "<literal>(ui(nq((y)))s)</literal>"
* are both valid type strings, as is
* "<literal>a(aa(ui)(qna{ya(yd)}))</literal>".
* </para>
* <para>
* The meaning of each of the characters is as follows:

* Any type string of a container that contains an indefinite type is,

* "<literal>a*</literal>" (corresponding to %G_VARIANT_TYPE_ARRAY) is
* an indefinite type that is a supertype of every array type.
* "<literal>(*s)</literal>" is a supertype of all tuples that
* contain exactly two items where the second item is a string.
* </para>
* <para>
* "<literal>a{?*}</literal>" is an indefinite type that is a
* supertype of all arrays containing dictionary entries where the key
* is any basic type and the value is any type at all. This is, by
* definition, a dictionary, so this type string corresponds to
* %G_VARIANT_TYPE_DICTIONARY. Note that, due to the restriction that
* the key of a dictionary entry must be a basic type,
* "<literal>{**}</literal>" is not a valid type string.
