Description Christian Hergert 2008-07-07 19:58:22 UTC 
It would be useful to simply the consumption of GValue based methods. Just a bit of compiler magic to automatically box/unbox values into GValue's?

For example,

public void do_something (GValue *value);

// create a gvalue, and use proper g_value_set method
do_something ("blah");
or
do_something (100);
