/**
 * GPropertyAction:
 *
 * A `GPropertyAction` is a way to get a [iface@Gio.Action] with a state value
 * reflecting and controlling the value of a [class@GObject.Object] property.
 *
 * The state of the action will correspond to the value of the property.
 * Changing it will change the property (assuming the requested value
 * matches the requirements as specified in the [type@GObject.ParamSpec]).
 *
 * Only the most common types are presently supported.  Booleans are
 * mapped to booleans, strings to strings, signed/unsigned integers to
 * int32/uint32 and floats and doubles to doubles.
 *
 * If the property is an enum then the state will be string-typed and
 * conversion will automatically be performed between the enum value and
 * ‘nick’ string as per the [type@GObject.EnumValue] table.
 *
 * Flags types are not currently supported.
 *
 * Properties of object types, boxed types and pointer types are not
 * supported and probably never will be.
 *
 * Properties of [type@GLib.Variant] types are not currently supported.
 *
 * If the property is boolean-valued then the action will have a `NULL`
 * parameter type, and activating the action (with no parameter) will
 * toggle the value of the property.
 *
 * In all other cases, the parameter type will correspond to the type of
 * the property.
 *
 * The general idea here is to reduce the number of locations where a
 * particular piece of state is kept (and therefore has to be synchronised
 * between). `GPropertyAction` does not have a separate state that is kept
 * in sync with the property value — its state is the property value.
 *
 * For example, it might be useful to create a [iface@Gio.Action] corresponding
 * to the `visible-child-name` property of a [class@Gtk.Stack] so that the
 * current page can be switched from a menu.  The active radio indication in the
 * menu is then directly determined from the active page of the
 * [class@Gtk.Stack].
 *
 * An anti-example would be binding the `active-id` property on a
 * [class@Gtk.ComboBox].  This is because the state of the combobox itself is
 * probably uninteresting and is actually being used to control
 * something else.
 *
 * Another anti-example would be to bind to the `visible-child-name`
 * property of a [class@Gtk.Stack] if this value is actually stored in
 * [class@Gio.Settings].  In that case, the real source of the value is
 * [class@Gio.Settings].  If you want a [iface@Gio.Action] to control a setting
 * stored in [class@Gio.Settings], see [method@Gio.Settings.create_action]
 * instead, and possibly combine its use with [method@Gio.Settings.bind].
