 * @title: GTypeModule
 *
 * #GTypeModule provides a simple implementation of the #GTypePlugin
 * interface. The model of #GTypeModule is a dynamically loaded module
 * which implements some number of types and interface
 * implementations. When the module is loaded, it registers its types
 * and interfaces using g_type_module_register_type() and
 * g_type_module_add_interface().  As long as any instances of these
 * types and interface implementations are in use, the module is kept
 * loaded. When the types and interfaces are gone, the module may be
 * unloaded. If the types and interfaces become used again, the module
 * will be reloaded. Note that the last unref cannot happen in module
 * code, since that would lead to the caller's code being unloaded before
 * g_object_unref() returns to it.
 *
 * Keeping track of whether the module should be loaded or not is done by
 * using a use count - it starts at zero, and whenever it is greater than
 * zero, the module is loaded. The use count is maintained internally by
 * the type system, but also can be explicitly controlled by
 * g_type_module_use() and g_type_module_unuse(). Typically, when loading
 * a module for the first type, g_type_module_use() will be used to load
 * it so that it can initialize its types. At some later point, when the
 * module no longer needs to be loaded except for the type
 * implementations it contains, g_type_module_unuse() is called.
 *
 * #GTypeModule does not actually provide any implementation of module
 * loading and unloading. To create a particular module type you must
 * derive from #GTypeModule and implement the load and unload functions
 * in #GTypeModuleClass.
