fix the bug

Found some code in an application I'm maintaining that did some silliness with GValues by checking for comparability before transforming the values. Since the code already does this, I'm guessing there's some confusion on this point, so bump the documentation to let developers know what transformability implies (comparability and the presence of a transformation function).

s/comparability/compatibility/ in the description, sorry for the noise.
