 * SECTION:objects
 * @Short_description: The base object type
 * @See_also:#GParamSpecObject, g_param_spec_object()
 * @Title: The Base Object Type
 *
 * GObject is the fundamental type providing the common attributes and
 * methods for all object types in GTK+, Pango and other libraries
 * based on GObject.  The GObject class provides methods for object
 * construction and destruction, property access methods, and signal
 * support.  Signals are described in detail in <xref
 * linkend="gobject-Signals"/>.
 *
 * <para id="floating-ref">
 * #GInitiallyUnowned is derived from #GObject. The only difference between
 * the two is that the initial reference of a #GInitiallyUnowned is flagged
 * as a <firstterm>floating</firstterm> reference.
 * This means that it is not specifically claimed to be "owned" by
 * any code portion. The main motivation for providing floating references is
 * C convenience. In particular, it allows code to be written as:
 * |[
 * container = create_container();
 * container_add_child (container, create_child());
 * ]|
 * If <function>container_add_child()</function> will g_object_ref_sink() the
 * passed in child, no reference of the newly created child is leaked.
 * Without floating references, <function>container_add_child()</function>
 * can only g_object_ref() the new child, so to implement this code without
 * reference leaks, it would have to be written as:
 * |[
 * Child *child;
 * container = create_container();
 * child = create_child();
 * container_add_child (container, child);
 * g_object_unref (child);
 * ]|
 * The floating reference can be converted into
 * an ordinary reference by calling g_object_ref_sink().
 * For already sunken objects (objects that don't have a floating reference
 * anymore), g_object_ref_sink() is equivalent to g_object_ref() and returns
 * a new reference.
 * Since floating references are useful almost exclusively for C convenience,
 * language bindings that provide automated reference and memory ownership
 * maintenance (such as smart pointers or garbage collection) therefore don't
 * need to expose floating references in their API.
 * </para>
 *
 * Some object implementations may need to save an objects floating state
 * across certain code portions (an example is #GtkMenu), to achive this, the
 * following sequence can be used:
 *
 * |[
 * // save floating state
 * gboolean was_floating = g_object_is_floating (object);
 * g_object_ref_sink (object);
 * // protected code portion
 * ...;
 * // restore floating state
 * if (was_floating)
 *   g_object_force_floating (object);
 * g_obejct_unref (object); // release previously acquired reference
 * ]|

 * object which is either a strong reference or weak reference.
 * 
 * The setup is that when there are no other references to @object,

 * to the proxy object, but when there are other references held to
 * @object, a strong reference is held. The @notify callback is called

 * 
 * Since a (normal) reference must be held to the object before
 * calling g_object_toggle_ref(), the initial state of the reverse
 * link is always strong.

 * however if there are multiple toggle references to an object, none
 * of them will ever be notified until all but one are removed.  For
