+ * This section introduces the GVariant type system. It is based, in
+ * large part, on the D-Bus type system, with two major changes and
+ * some minor lifting of restrictions. The
+ * [D-Bus specification](http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html),
+ * therefore, provides a significant amount of
* information that is useful when working with GVariant.
*
- * The first major change with respect to the DBus type system is the
+ * The first major change with respect to the D-Bus type system is the
* introduction of maybe (or "nullable") types. Any type in GVariant can be
* converted to a maybe type, in which case, "nothing" (or "null") becomes a
* valid value. Maybe types have been added by introducing the
- * character "<literal>m</literal>" to type strings.
+ * character "m" to type strings.
*
* The second major change is that the GVariant type system supports the
* concept of "indefinite types" -- types that are less specific than
- * the normal types found in DBus. For example, it is possible to speak
- * of "an array of any type" in GVariant, where the DBus type system
+ * the normal types found in D-Bus. For example, it is possible to speak
+ * of "an array of any type" in GVariant, where the D-Bus type system
* would require you to speak of "an array of integers" or "an array of
* strings". Indefinite types have been added by introducing the
- * characters "<literal>*</literal>", "<literal>?</literal>" and
- * "<literal>r</literal>" to type strings.
+ * characters "*", "?" and "r" to type strings.
*
* Finally, all arbitrary restrictions relating to the complexity of
* types are lifted along with the restriction that dictionary entries
* may only appear nested inside of arrays.
*
- * Just as in DBus, GVariant types are described with strings ("type
+ * Just as in D-Bus, GVariant types are described with strings ("type
* strings"). Subject to the differences mentioned above, these strings
- * are of the same form as those found in DBus. Note, however: DBus
+ * are of the same form as those found in DBus. Note, however: D-Bus
* always works in terms of messages and therefore individual type
* strings appear nowhere in its interface. Instead, "signatures"
* are a concatenation of the strings of the type of each argument in a
* message. GVariant deals with single values directly so GVariant type
* strings always describe the type of exactly one value. This means
- * that a DBus signature string is generally not a valid GVariant type
+ * that a D-Bus signature string is generally not a valid GVariant type
* string -- except in the case that it is the signature of a message
* containing exactly one argument.
*
* indefinite type as its type, but values can exist that have types
* that are subtypes of indefinite types. That is to say,
* g_variant_get_type() will never return an indefinite type, but
- * calling g_variant_is_a() with an indefinite type may return %TRUE.
- * For example, you can not have a value that represents "an array of no
- * particular type", but you can have an "array of integers" which
- * certainly matches the type of "an array of no particular type", since
- * "array of integers" is a subtype of "array of no particular type".
+ * calling g_variant_is_of_type() with an indefinite type may return
+ * %TRUE. For example, you cannot have a value that represents "an
+ * array of no particular type", but you can have an "array of integers"
+ * which certainly matches the type of "an array of no particular type",
+ * since "array of integers" is a subtype of "array of no particular
+ * type".
*
* This is similar to how instances of abstract classes may not
* directly exist in other type systems, but instances of their
* that the #GtkWindow is a #GtkBin (since #GtkWindow is a subclass of
* #GtkBin).

+ * ## GVariant Type Strings
+ *
+ * A GVariant type string can be any of the following:
+ *
+ * - any basic type string (listed below)
+ *
+ * - "v", "r" or "*"
+ *
+ * - one of the characters 'a' or 'm', followed by another type string
+ *
+ * - the character '(', followed by a concatenation of zero or more other
+ * type strings, followed by the character ')'
+ *
+ * - the character '{', followed by a basic type string (see below),
+ * followed by another type string, followed by the character '}'
+ *
+ * A basic type string describes a basic type (as per
+ * g_variant_type_is_basic()) and is always a single character in length.
+ * The valid basic type strings are "b", "y", "n", "q", "i", "u", "x", "t",
+ * "h", "d", "s", "o", "g" and "?".
+ *
+ * The above definition is recursive to arbitrary depth. "aaaaai" and
+ * "(ui(nq((y)))s)" are both valid type strings, as is
+ * "a(aa(ui)(qna{ya(yd)}))".
+ *
+ * The meaning of each of the characters is as follows:
+ * - `b`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_BOOLEAN; a boolean value.
+ * - `y`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTE; a byte.
+ * - `n`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_INT16; a signed 16 bit integer.
+ * - `q`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_UINT16; an unsigned 16 bit integer.
+ * - `i`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_INT32; a signed 32 bit integer.
+ * - `u`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_UINT32; an unsigned 32 bit integer.
+ * - `x`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_INT64; a signed 64 bit integer.
+ * - `t`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_UINT64; an unsigned 64 bit integer.
+ * - `h`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_HANDLE; a signed 32 bit value
+ * that, by convention, is used as an index into an array of file
+ * descriptors that are sent alongside a D-Bus message.
+ * - `d`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_DOUBLE; a double precision
+ * floating point value.
+ * - `s`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_STRING; a string.
+ * - `o`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_OBJECT_PATH; a string in the form
+ * of a D-Bus object path.
+ * - `g`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_STRING; a string in the form of
+ * a D-Bus type signature.
+ * - `?`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_BASIC; an indefinite type that
+ * is a supertype of any of the basic types.
+ * - `v`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARIANT; a container type that
+ * contain any other type of value.
+ * - `a`: used as a prefix on another type string to mean an array of that
+ * type; the type string "ai", for example, is the type of an array of
+ * signed 32-bit integers.
+ * - `m`: used as a prefix on another type string to mean a "maybe", or
+ * "nullable", version of that type; the type string "ms", for example,
+ * is the type of a value that maybe contains a string, or maybe contains
+ * nothing.
+ * - `()`: used to enclose zero or more other concatenated type strings to
+ * create a tuple type; the type string "(is)", for example, is the type of
+ * a pair of an integer and a string.
+ * - `r`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_TUPLE; an indefinite type that is
+ * a supertype of any tuple type, regardless of the number of items.
+ * - `{}`: used to enclose a basic type string concatenated with another type
+ * string to create a dictionary entry type, which usually appears inside of
+ * an array to form a dictionary; the type string "a{sd}", for example, is
+ * the type of a dictionary that maps strings to double precision floating
+ * point values.
+ *
+ * The first type (the basic type) is the key type and the second type is
+ * the value type. The reason that the first type is restricted to being a
+ * basic type is so that it can easily be hashed.
+ * - `*`: the type string of %G_VARIANT_TYPE_ANY; the indefinite type that is
+ * a supertype of all types. Note that, as with all type strings, this
+ * character represents exactly one type. It cannot be used inside of tuples
+ * to mean "any number of items".
+ *
+ * Any type string of a container that contains an indefinite type is,
+ * itself, an indefinite type. For example, the type string "a*"
+ * (corresponding to %G_VARIANT_TYPE_ARRAY) is an indefinite type
+ * that is a supertype of every array type. "(*s)" is a supertype
+ * of all tuples that contain exactly two items where the second
+ * item is a string.
+ *
+ * "a{?*}" is an indefinite type that is a supertype of all arrays
+ * containing dictionary entries where the key is any basic type and
+ * the value is any type at all. This is, by definition, a dictionary,
+ * so this type string corresponds to %G_VARIANT_TYPE_DICTIONARY. Note
+ * that, due to the restriction that the key of a dictionary entry must
+ * be a basic type, "{**}" is not a valid type string.
