=item void gperl_signal_set_marshaller_for (GType instance_type, char * detailed_signal, GClosureMarshal marshaller)

You need this function only in rare cases, usually as workarounds for bad
signal parameter types or to implement writable arguments.  Use the given
I<marshaller> to marshal all handlers for I<detailed_signal> on
I<instance_type>.  C<gperl_signal_connect> will look for marshallers
registered here, and apply them to the GPerlClosure it creates for the given
callback being connected.

Use the helper macros in gperl_marshal.h to help write your marshaller
function.  That header, which is installed with the Glib module but not
#included through gperl.h, includes commentary and examples which you
should follow closely to avoid nasty bugs.  Use the Source, Luke.

WARNING: Bend over backwards and turn your head around 720 degrees before
attempting to write a GPerlClosure marshaller without using the macros in
gperl_marshal.h.  If you absolutely cannot use those macros, be certain to
understand what those macros do so you can get the semantics correct, and
keep your code synchronized with them, or you may miss very important
bugfixes.

The actual workhorse behind GObject::signal_connect, the binding for
g_signal_connect, for use from within XS.  This creates a C<GPerlClosure>
wrapper for the given I<callback> and I<data>, and connects that closure to the
signal named I<detailed_signal> on the given GObject I<instance>.  This is only
good for named signals.  I<flags> is the same as for g_signal_connect().
I<data> may be NULL, but I<callback> must not be.

Returns the id of the installed callback.

Chain up to an overridden class closure; it is only valid to call this from
a class closure override.

Translation: because of various details in how GObjects are implemented,
the way to override a virtual method on a GObject is to provide a new "class
closure", or default handler for a signal.  This happens when a class is
registered with the type system (see Glib::Type::register and
L<Glib::Object::Subclass>).  When called from inside such an override, this
method runs the overridden class closure.  This is equivalent to calling
$self->SUPER::$method (@_) in normal Perl objects.
