/**
 * SECTION:gtkexpression
 * @Short_description: Expressions to values
 * @Title: GtkExpression
 *
 * GtkExpression provides a way to describe references to #GValues.
 *
 * An expression needs to be `evaluated` to obtain the value that it currently refers
 * to. An evaluation always happens in the context of a current object called `this`
 * (it mirrors the behavior of object-oriented languages), which may or may not
 * influence the result of the evaluation. Use gtk_expression_evaluate() for
 * evaluating an expression.
 *
 * Various methods for defining expressions exist, from simple constants via
 * gtk_constant_expression_new() to looking up properties in a #GObject (even
 * recursively) via gtk_property_expression_new() or providing custom functions to
 * transform and combine expressions via gtk_closure_expression_new().
 *
 * By default, expressions are not paying attention to changes and evaluation is
 * just a snapshot of the current state at a given time. To get informed about
 * changes, an expression needs to be `watched` via a #GtkExpressionWatch, which
 * will cause a callback to be called whenever the value of the expression may
 * have changed. gtk_expression_watch() starts watching an expression, and
 * gtk_expression_watch_unwatch() stops.
 *
 * Watches can be created for automatically updating the propery of an object,
 * similar to GObject's #GBinding mechanism, by using gtk_expression_bind().
 *
 * # GtkExpression in .ui files
 *
 * GtkBuilder has support for creating expressions. The syntax here can be used where
 * a #GtkExpression object is needed like in a <property> tag for an expression
 * property, or in a <binding> tag to bind a property to an expression.
 *
 * To create an property expression, use the <lookup> element. It can have a `type`
 * attribute to specify the object type, and a `name` attribute to specify the property
 * to look up. The content of <lookup> can either be an element specfiying the expression
 * to use the object, or a string that specifies the name of the object to use.
 * 
 * Example:
 * |[
 *   <lookup name='search'>string_filter</lookup>
 * |]
 *
 * To create a constant expression, use the <constant> element. If the type attribute
 * is specified, the element content is interpreted as a value of that type. Otherwise,
 * it is assumed to be an object.
 *
 * Example:
 * |[
 *   <constant>string_filter</constant>
 *   <constant type='gchararray'>Hello, world</constant>
 * ]|
 *
 * To create a closure expression, use the <closure> element. The `type` and `function`
 * attributes specify what function to use for the closure, the content of the element
 * contains the expressions for the parameters.
 * 
 * Example:
 * |[
 *   <closure type='gchararray' function='combine_args_somehow'>
 *     <constant type='gchararray'>File size:</constant>
 *     <lookup type='GFile' name='size'>myfile</lookup>
 *   </closure>
 * ]|
