570 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
571 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
572 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

574 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
575 while loading or saving it.

577 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
578 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
581 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
582 interfaces to dynamic types.

1312 also uses less memory overall.
