/**
 * A #GClosure represents a callback supplied by the programmer. It
 * will generally comprise a function of some kind and a marshaller
 * used to call it. It is the responsibility of the marshaller to
 * convert the arguments for the invocation from #GValues into
 * a suitable form, perform the callback on the converted arguments,
 * and transform the return value back into a #GValue.
 * 
 * In the case of C programs, a closure usually just holds a pointer
 * to a function and maybe a data argument, and the marshaller
 * converts between #GValue and native C types. The GObject
 * library provides the #GCClosure type for this purpose. Bindings for
 * other languages need marshallers which convert between #GValues
 * and suitable representations in the runtime of the language in
 * order to use functions written in that language as callbacks. Use
 * g_closure_set_marshal() to set the marshaller on such a custom
 * closure implementation.
 * 
 * Within GObject, closures play an important role in the
 * implementation of signals. When a signal is registered, the
 * @c_marshaller argument to g_signal_new() specifies the default C
 * marshaller for any closure which is connected to this
 * signal. GObject provides a number of C marshallers for this
 * purpose, see the g_cclosure_marshal_*() functions. Additional C
 * marshallers can be generated with the [glib-genmarshal][glib-genmarshal]
 * utility.  Closures can be explicitly connected to signals with
 * g_signal_connect_closure(), but it usually more convenient to let
 * GObject create a closure automatically by using one of the
 * g_signal_connect_*() functions which take a callback function/user
 * data pair.
 * 
 * Using closures has a number of important advantages over a simple
 * callback function/data pointer combination:
 * 
 * - Closures allow the callee to get the types of the callback parameters,
 * which means that language bindings don't have to write individual glue
 * for each callback type.
 * 
 * - The reference counting of #GClosure makes it easy to handle reentrancy
 * right; if a callback is removed while it is being invoked, the closure
 * and its parameters won't be freed until the invocation finishes.
 * 
 * - g_closure_invalidate() and invalidation notifiers allow callbacks to be
 * automatically removed when the objects they point to go away.
