 * @short_description: Struct representing a callable
 *
 * GICallableInfo represents an entity which is callable.
 *
 * Examples of callable are:
 *
 *  - functions (#GIFunctionInfo)
 *  - virtual functions (#GIVFuncInfo)
 *  - callbacks (#GICallbackInfo).
 *
 * A callable has a list of arguments (#GIArgInfo), a return type,
 * direction and a flag which decides if it returns null.
