+ * @title: GTypeModule
+ *
+ * #GTypeModule provides a simple implementation of the #GTypePlugin
+ * interface. The model of #GTypeModule is a dynamically loaded module
+ * which implements some number of types and interface
+ * implementations. When the module is loaded, it registers its types
+ * and interfaces using g_type_module_register_type() and
+ * g_type_module_add_interface(). As long as any instances of these
+ * types and interface implementations are in use, the module is kept
+ * loaded. When the types and interfaces are gone, the module may be
+ * unloaded. If the types and interfaces become used again, the module
+ * will be reloaded. Note that the last unref cannot happen in module
+ * code, since that would lead to the caller's code being unloaded before
+ * g_object_unref() returns to it.
+ *
+ * Keeping track of whether the module should be loaded or not is done by
+ * using a use count - it starts at zero, and whenever it is greater than
+ * zero, the module is loaded. The use count is maintained internally by
+ * the type system, but also can be explicitly controlled by
+ * g_type_module_use() and g_type_module_unuse(). Typically, when loading
+ * a module for the first type, g_type_module_use() will be used to load
+ * it so that it can initialize its types. At some later point, when the
+ * module no longer needs to be loaded except for the type
+ * implementations it contains, g_type_module_unuse() is called.
+ *
+ * #GTypeModule does not actually provide any implementation of module
+ * loading and unloading. To create a particular module type you must
+ * derive from #GTypeModule and implement the load and unload functions
+ * in #GTypeModuleClass.
