Another usage example: simplify the code of, for example, gcalctool. In any case, if the reasons of not extending Glib are related with compatibility, that's a stronger reason :) . > > nevertheless, if new types have been introduced and if they can be > checked at configure-time, then they may be supported by wrapping them, > in to provide a graceful degradation path. > > I have a doubt about that. To introduce a type following the way you described...
