/**
 * GIRepository:
 *
 * `GIRepository` is used to manage repositories of namespaces. Namespaces
 * are represented on disk by type libraries (`.typelib` files).
 *
 * The individual pieces of API within a type library are represented by
 * subclasses of [class@GIRepository.BaseInfo]. These can be found using
 * methods like [method@GIRepository.Repository.find_by_name] or
 * [method@GIRepository.Repository.get_info].
 *
 * You are responsible for ensuring that the lifetime of the
 * [class@GIRepository.Repository] exceeds that of the lifetime of any of its
 * [class@GIRepository.BaseInfo]s. This cannot be guaranteed by using internal
 * references within libgirepository as that would affect performance.
 *
 * ### Discovery of type libraries
 *
 * `GIRepository` will typically look for a `girepository-1.0` directory
 * under the library directory used when compiling gobject-introspection. On a
 * standard Linux system this will end up being `/usr/lib/girepository-1.0`.
 *
 * It is possible to control the search paths programmatically, using
 * [method@GIRepository.Repository.prepend_search_path]. It is also possible to
 * modify the search paths by using the `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` environment variable.
 * The environment variable takes precedence over the default search path
 * and the [method@GIRepository.Repository.prepend_search_path] calls.
 *
 * ### Namespace ordering
 *
 * In situations where namespaces may be searched in order, or returned in a
 * list, the namespaces will be returned in alphabetical order, with all fully
 * loaded namespaces being returned before any lazily loaded ones (those loaded
 * with `GI_REPOSITORY_LOAD_FLAG_LAZY`). This allows for deterministic and
 * reproducible results.
 *
 * Similarly, if a symbol (such as a `GType` or error domain) is being searched
 * for in the set of loaded namespaces, the namespaces will be searched in that
 * order. In particular, this means that a symbol which exists in two namespaces
 * will always be returned from the alphabetically-higher namespace. This should
 * only happen in the case of `Gio` and `GioUnix`/`GioWin32`, which all refer to
 * the same `.so` file and expose overlapping sets of symbols. Symbols should
 * always end up being resolved to `GioUnix` or `GioWin32` if they are platform
 * dependent, rather than `Gio` itself.
 *
 * Since: 2.80

 * Python.
