/** MenuModel - An abstract class representing the contents of a menu.
 * MenuModel represents the contents of a menu -- an ordered list of menu
 * items. The items are associated with actions, which can be activated through
 * them. Items can be grouped in sections, and may have submenus associated
 * with them. Both items and sections usually have some representation data,
 * such as labels or icons. The type of the associated action (ie whether it is
 * stateful, and what kind of state it has) can influence the representation of
 * the item.
 *
 * The conceptual model of menus in MenuModel is hierarchical: sections and
 * submenus are again represented by MenuModels. Menus themselves do not define
 * their own roles. Rather, the role of a particular MenuModel is defined by
 * the item that references it (or, in the case of the 'root' menu, is defined
 * by the context in which it is used).
 *
 * The motivation for this abstract model of application controls is that
 * modern user interfaces tend to make these controls available outside the
 * application. Examples include global menus, jumplists, dash boards, etc. To
 * support such uses, it is necessary to 'export' information about actions and
 * their representation in menus, which is exactly what
 * Gio::DBus::Connection::export_action_group() and the
 * Gio::DBus::Connection::export_menu_model() do for ActionGroup and MenuModel.
 * The client-side counterparts to make use of the exported information are
 * Gio::DBus::ActionGroup and Gio::DBus::MenuModel.
 *
 * The API of MenuModel is very generic, with iterators for the attributes and
 * links of an item, see iterate_item_attributes() and iterate_item_links().
 * The 'standard' attributes and link types have predefined names:
 * Gio::MENU_ATTRIBUTE_LABEL, Gio::MENU_ATTRIBUTE_ACTION,
 * Gio::MENU_ATTRIBUTE_TARGET, Gio::MENU_LINK_SECTION and
 * Gio::MENU_LINK_SUBMENU.
 *
 * Items in a MenuModel represent active controls if they refer to an action
 * that can get activated when the user interacts with the menu item. The
 * reference to the action is encoded by the string id in the
 * Gio::MENU_ATTRIBUTE_ACTION attribute. An action id uniquely identifies an
 * action in an action group. Which action group(s) provide actions depends on
 * the context in which the menu model is used. E.g. when the model is exported
 * as the application menu of a Gtk::Application, actions can be
 * application-wide or window-specific (and thus come from two different action
 * groups). By convention, the application-wide actions have names that start
 * with "app.", while the names of window-specific actions start with "win.".
 *
 * While a wide variety of stateful actions is possible, the following is the
 * minimum that is expected to be supported by all users of exported menu
 * information:
 *
 * - an action with no parameter type and no state
 * - an action with no parameter type and boolean state
 * - an action with string parameter type and string state
 *
 * <b>Stateless.</b>  A stateless action typically corresponds to an ordinary
 * menu item. Selecting such a menu item will activate the action (with no
 * parameter).
 *
 * <b>Boolean State.</b>  An action with a boolean state will most typically be
 * used with a "toggle" or "switch" menu item. The state can be set directly,
 * but activating the action (with no parameter) results in the state being
 * toggled. Selecting a toggle menu item will activate the action. The menu
 * item should be rendered as "checked" when the state is true.
 *
 * <b>String Parameter and State.</b>  Actions with string parameters and state
 * will most typically be used to represent an enumerated choice over the items
 * available for a group of radio menu items. Activating the action with a
 * string parameter is equivalent to setting that parameter as the state. Radio
 * menu items, in addition to being associated with the action, will have a
 * target value. Selecting that menu item will result in activation of the
 * action with the target value as the parameter. The menu item should be
 * rendered as "selected" when the state of the action is equal to the target
 * value of the menu item.
 *
 * See the C API docs for a graphical example.
