 * GtkExpression: (ref-func gtk_expression_ref) (unref-func gtk_expression_unref) (set-value-func gtk_value_set_expression) (get-value-func gtk_value_get_expression)
 *
 * Provides a way to describe references to values.
 *
 * An important aspect of expressions is that the value can be obtained
 * from a source that is several steps away. For example, an expression
 * may describe ‘the value of property A of `object1`, which is itself the
 * value of a property of `object2`’. And `object1` may not even exist yet
 * at the time that the expression is created. This is contrast to `GObject`
 * property bindings, which can only create direct connections between
 * the properties of two objects that must both exist for the duration
 * of the binding.
 *
 * 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
 * [method@Gtk.Expression.evaluate] for evaluating an expression.
 *
 * Various methods for defining expressions exist, from simple constants via
 * [ctor@Gtk.ConstantExpression.new] to looking up properties in a `GObject`
 * (even recursively) via [ctor@Gtk.PropertyExpression.new] or providing
 * custom functions to transform and combine expressions via
 * [ctor@Gtk.ClosureExpression.new].
 *
 * Here is an example of a complex expression:
 *
 * ```c
 *   color_expr = gtk_property_expression_new (GTK_TYPE_LIST_ITEM,
 *                                             NULL, "item");
 *   expression = gtk_property_expression_new (GTK_TYPE_COLOR,
 *                                             color_expr, "name");
 * ```
 *
 * when evaluated with `this` being a `GtkListItem`, it will obtain the
 * "item" property from the `GtkListItem`, and then obtain the "name" property
 * from the resulting object (which is assumed to be of type `GTK_TYPE_COLOR`).
 *
 * A more concise way to describe this would be
 *
 * ```
 *   this->item->name
 * ```
 *
 * The most likely place where you will encounter expressions is in the context
 * of list models and list widgets using them. For example, `GtkDropDown` is
 * evaluating a `GtkExpression` to obtain strings from the items in its model
 * that it can then use to match against the contents of its search entry.
 * `GtkStringFilter` is using a `GtkExpression` for similar reasons.
 *
 * 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 [struct@Gtk.ExpressionWatch],
 * which will cause a callback to be called whenever the value of the expression may
 * have changed; [method@Gtk.Expression.watch] starts watching an expression, and
 * [method@Gtk.ExpressionWatch.unwatch] stops.
 *
 * Watches can be created for automatically updating the property of an object,
 * similar to GObject's `GBinding` mechanism, by using [method@Gtk.Expression.bind].
 *
 * ## GtkExpression in GObject properties
 *
 * In order to use a `GtkExpression` as a `GObject` property, you must use the
 * [func@Gtk.param_spec_expression] when creating a `GParamSpec` to install in the
 * `GObject` class being defined; for instance:
 *
 * ```c
 * obj_props[PROP_EXPRESSION] =
 *   gtk_param_spec_expression ("expression",
 *                              "Expression",
 *                              "The expression used by the widget",
 *                              G_PARAM_READWRITE |
 *                              G_PARAM_STATIC_NAME |
 *                              G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY);
 * ```
 *
 * When implementing the `GObjectClass.set_property` and `GObjectClass.get_property`
 * virtual functions, you must use [func@Gtk.value_get_expression], to retrieve the
 * stored `GtkExpression` from the `GValue` container, and [func@Gtk.value_set_expression],
 * to store the `GtkExpression` into the `GValue`; for instance:
 *
 * ```c
 *   // in set_property()...
 *   case PROP_EXPRESSION:
 *     foo_widget_set_expression (foo, gtk_value_get_expression (value));
 *     break;
 *
 *   // in get_property()...
 *   case PROP_EXPRESSION:
 *     gtk_value_set_expression (value, foo->expression);
 *     break;
 * ```
 *
 * ## 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 name="property">` tag to bind a property to an expression.
 *
 * To create a 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 a string that specifies the name
 * of the object to use, an element specifying an expression to provide an object, or
 * empty to use the `this` object.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * ```xml
 *   <lookup name='search'>string_filter</lookup>
 * ```
 *
 * Since the `<lookup>` element creates an expression and its element content can
 * itself be an expression, this means that `<lookup>` tags can also be nested.
 * This is a common idiom when dealing with `GtkListItem`s. See
 * [class@Gtk.BuilderListItemFactory] for an example of this technique.
 *
 * 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, and the
 * initial attribute can be specified to get the initial value for that type. Otherwise,
 * it is assumed to be an object. For instance:
 *
 * ```xml
 *   <constant>string_filter</constant>
 *   <constant type='gchararray'>Hello, world</constant>
 *   <constant type='gchararray' initial='true' /> <!-- NULL -->
 * ```
 *
 * String (`type='gchararray'`) constants can be marked for translation with the
 * `translatable=` attribute, and will then be looked up in the
 * [property@Gtk.Builder:translation-domain] when the expression is constructed.
 *
 * ```xml
 *   <constant type='gchararray' translatable='yes'>I'm translatable!</constant>
 * ```
 *
 * As with other translatable strings in [type@Gtk.Builder], constants can
 * also have a context and/or translation comment:
 *
 * ```xml
 *   <constant type='gchararray'
 *             translatable='yes'
 *             context='example'
 *             comments='A sample string'>I'm translatable!</constant>
 * ```
 *
 * To create a closure expression, use the `<closure>` element. The `function`
 * attribute specifies what function to use for the closure, and the `type`
 * attribute specifies its return type. The content of the element contains the
 * expressions for the parameters. For instance:
 *
 * ```xml
 *   <closure type='gchararray' function='combine_args_somehow'>
 *     <constant type='gchararray'>File size:</constant>
 *     <lookup type='GFile' name='size'>myfile</lookup>
 *   </closure>
 * ```
 *
 * If an expression can fail, a `<try>` element can be used to provide fallbacks.
 * The expressions are tried from top to bottom until one of them succeeds.
 * If none of the expressions succeed, the expression fails as normal:
 *
 * ```xml
 *   <try>
 *     <lookup type='GtkWindow' name='title'>
 *       <lookup type='GtkLabel' name='root'></lookup>
 *     </lookup>
 *     <constant type='gchararray'>Hello World</constant>
 *   </try>
 * ```
 *
 * To create a property binding, use the `<binding>` element in place of where a
 * `<property>` tag would ordinarily be used. The `name` and `object` attributes are
 * supported. The `name` attribute is required, and pertains to the applicable property
 * name. The `object` attribute is optional. If provided, it will use the specified object
 * as the `this` object when the expression is evaluated. Here is an example in which the
 * `label` property of a `GtkLabel` is bound to the `string` property of another arbitrary
 * object:
 *
 * ```xml
 *   <object class='GtkLabel'>
 *     <binding name='label'>
 *       <lookup name='string'>some_other_object</lookup>
 *     </binding>
 *   </object>
 * ```
