	 * rules lead to undefined behaviour.

	 * efficient and in fact required when using property names as detail
	 * strings for signals.
	 *
	 * Beyond the name, #GParamSpecs have two more descriptive
	 * strings associated with them, the @nick, which should be suitable
	 * for use as a label for the property in a property editor, and the
	 * @blurb, which should be a somewhat longer description, suitable for
	 * e.g. a tooltip. The @nick and @blurb should ideally be localized.
