* set. The first thing a @constructor implementation must do is chain up to the
* @constructor of the parent class. Overriding @constructor should be rarely
* needed, e.g. to handle construct properties, or to implement singletons.
* @set_property: the generic setter for all properties of this type. Should be
* overridden for every type with properties. Implementations of @set_property
* don't need to emit property change notification explicitly, this is handled
* by the type system.
* @get_property: the generic getter for all properties of this type. Should be
* overridden for every type with properties.
* @dispose: the @dispose function is supposed to drop all references to other
* objects, but keep the instance otherwise intact, so that client method
* invocations still work. It may be run multiple times (due to reference
* loops). Before returning, @dispose should chain up to the @dispose method
* of the parent class.
* @finalize: instance finalization function, should finish the finalization of
* the instance begun in @dispose and chain up to the @finalize method of the
* parent class.
* @dispatch_properties_changed: emits property change notification for a bunch
* of properties. Overriding @dispatch_properties_changed should be rarely
* needed.
* @notify: the class closure for the notify signal
* @constructed: the @constructed function is called by g_object_new() as the
* final step of the object creation process. At the point of the call, all
* construction properties have been set on the object. The purpose of this
* call is to allow for object initialisation steps that can only be performed
* after construction properties have been set. @constructed implementors
* should chain up to the @constructed call of their parent class to allow it
* to complete its initialisation.
