/**
 * SECTION:gsettingsbackend
 * @title: GSettingsBackend
 * @short_description: Interface for settings backend implementations
 * @include: gio/gsettingsbackend.h
 * @see_also: #GSettings, #GIOExtensionPoint
 *
 * The #GSettingsBackend interface defines a generic interface for
 * non-strictly-typed data that is stored in a hierarchy. To implement
 * an alternative storage backend for #GSettings, you need to implement
 * the #GSettingsBackend interface and then make it implement the
 * extension point #G_SETTINGS_BACKEND_EXTENSION_POINT_NAME.
 *
 * The interface defines methods for reading and writing values, a
 * method for determining if writing of certain values will fail
 * (lockdown) and a change notification mechanism.
 *
 * The semantics of the interface are very precisely defined and
 * implementations must carefully adhere to the expectations of
 * callers that are documented on each of the interface methods.
 *
 * Some of the #GSettingsBackend functions accept or return a #GTree.
 * These trees always have strings as keys and #GVariant as values.
 * g_settings_backend_create_tree() is a convenience function to create
 * suitable trees.
 *
 * The #GSettingsBackend API is exported to allow third-party
 * implementations, but does not carry the same stability guarantees
 * as the public GIO API. For this reason, you have to define the
 * C preprocessor symbol %G_SETTINGS_ENABLE_BACKEND before including
 * `gio/gsettingsbackend.h`.

   * Our strategy to defend against the final reference dropping on the

   * dispatching is as follows:
   *
   *  1) hold a thread-safe GWeakRef on the GSettings during an outstanding
   *     dispatch.  This ensures that the delivery is always possible while
   *     the GSettings object is alive.
   *
   *  2) hold a weak reference on the GSettings at other times.  This
   *     allows us to receive early notification of pending destruction

   *     to that point.  After that point, we'll have been able to drop
   *     the watch from the list.
   *
   * Note, in particular, that it's not possible to simply have an
   * "unwatch" function that gets called from the finalize function of
   * the GSettings instance because, by that point it is no longer
   * possible to keep the object alive using g_object_ref() and we would
   * have no way of knowing this.
   *
   * Note also that we need to hold a reference on the main context here
   * since the GSettings instance may be finalized before the closure runs.
   *
   * All access to the list holds a mutex.  We have some strategies to
   * avoid some of the pain that would be associated with that.
