* CSS nodes are the backbone of the GtkStyleContext implementation and

* The API to manage states, names, ids and classes of CSS nodes is:
* - gtk_css_node_get/set_state. States are represented as GtkStateFlags
* - gtk_css_node_get/set_name. Names are represented as interned strings
* - gtk_css_node_get/set_id. Ids are represented as interned strings
* - gtk_css_node_add/remove/has_class and gtk_css_node_list_classes. Style
* classes are represented as quarks.

* CSS nodes are organized in a dom-like tree, and there is API to navigate
