Description Philip Withnall 2013-12-10 16:01:26 UTC 
This patch is based on observed behaviour, rather than by digging through the GIR scanner and typelib code. If it’s not correct, that implies there’s a bug somewhere which I will investigate further.

gitypeinfo: Expand documentation for g_type_info_is_pointer()

Note that (direction [in]out) parameters are only pointers if the
underlying type being transferred is a pointer, i.e. if the formal
parameter is a pointer to a pointer or deeper.

My recollection is we've gone back and forth on this historically...at this point documenting the current state makes sense.
