431 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).

436 interfaces to dynamic types.

1163 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

1166 also uses less memory overall.

1171 that a GError is set or unset

1178 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
