374 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
375 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

382 that a GError is set or unset

386 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
387 New functions to clean up app infos and content types

390 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
