Replace GObject.new with introspected version
Last modified: 2014-08-18 10:36:59 UTC
Currently GObject.new is implemented as a static module method and seems to do some duplication of what could be provided by GObject.Object.new. Replacing this will also help isolate reference counting problems into less places to deal with special cases.
I don't think this makes sense anymore.
