+ * @Short_description: Standard Parameter and Value Types
+ * @See_also:#GParamSpec, #GValue, g_object_class_install_property().
+ * @Title: Parameters and Values
+ * 
+ * #GValue provides an abstract container structure which can be copied,
+ * transformed and compared while holding a value of any (derived) type, which
+ * is registered as a #GType with a #GTypeValueTable in its #GTypeInfo structure.
+ * Parameter specifications for most value types can be created as
+ * #GParamSpec derived instances, to implement e.g. #GObject properties which
+ * operate on #GValue containers.
+ * 
+ * Parameter names need to start with a letter (a-z or A-Z). Subsequent
+ * characters can be letters, numbers or a '-'.
+ * All other characters are replaced by a '-' during construction.
