Move the autocleanup declarations into their
respective headers.
While we are at it, correct the autocleanup
declaration for GdkEvent to use gdk_event_unref,
not g_object_unref. Oops
C API users can keep dealing with the implicit equivalence of
GdkFileList and GSList, but language bindings have no idea that one type
is another, and none of them exposes GSList as a type anyway, so they
will need a way to construct a GdkFileList.
Instead of making GdkFileList mutable, and re-implement GSList, we only
provide a constructors pair that lets you create a GdkFileList from a
linked list or from an array.
We use a compilation symbol in our build to allow the inclusion of
specific headers while building GTK, to avoid the need to include only
the global header.
Each namespace has its own compilation symbol because we used to have
different libraries, and strict symbol visibility between libraries;
now that we have a single library, and we can use private symbols across
namespaces while building GTK, we should have a single compilation
symbol, and simplify the build rules.
Remove all the old 2.x and 3.x version annotations.
GTK+ 4 is a new start, and from the perspective of a
GTK+ 4 developer all these APIs have been around since
the beginning.
GdkContentFormatsBuilder is currently not introspectable, as it does not
have a GType. We can turn it into a boxed type, but we need to implement
memory management for it.
The current gdk_content_formats_builder_free() function returns a newly
constructed value, so we cannot use it as a GBoxedFreeFunc; additionally
copying a GdkContentFormatsBuilder contents would make it a bit odd, as
you could get multiple identical GdkContentFormats out of the copies.
A simple approach is to model the GdkContentFormatsBuilder API to follow
the GBytes one: use reference counting for memory management, and have
a function to release a reference, return a GdkContentFormats, and reset
the GdkContentFormatsBuilder state.
For language bindings, we can provide a get_formats() function that
returns the GdkContentFormats instance and resets the builder instance,
leaving the reference count untouched.
For C convenience we can keep gdk_content_formats_builder_free(), and
make it a wrapper around gdk_content_formats_builder_get_formats(), with
the guarantee that it'll free the builder instance regardless of its
current reference count.

This is a GSList of GFile and we want it so we can operate with lists of
files and text/uri-list.
I chose GSList over GList because that's what the GtkFileChooser API
uses, too.
Instead of having just one function that has the gtype and mime type as
out arguments, have 3 functions: 1 that finds any match, 1 that finds a
GType match and one for a mime type match.
This makes the API way more convenient to use.
This is not used by anything yet, but add it now, so people looking at
this new code can make sense of it.
Plus, the documentation mentions it, so better have the docs make sense.
It will be used once we add support for conversions to GDK and allow
doing cipboard/dnd by GValue.
Make sure the API reflects the idea that GdkContentFormats is a set
containing mime types. In particular, treat the object itself as a
plural - it's named content format`S' after all - and therefor use
the correct verb form.
Also make GdkContentFormats keep an array instead of a list, now that
it's immutable.
