/**
 * SECTION:quarks
 * @title: Quarks
 * @short_description: a 2-way association between a string and a
 *     unique integer identifier
 *
 * Quarks are associations between strings and integer identifiers.
 * Given either the string or the #GQuark identifier it is possible to
 * retrieve the other.
 *
 * Quarks are used for both [datasets][glib-Datasets] and
 * [keyed data lists][glib-Keyed-Data-Lists].
 *
 * To create a new quark from a string, use g_quark_from_string() or
 * g_quark_from_static_string().
 *
 * To find the string corresponding to a given #GQuark, use
 * g_quark_to_string().
 *
 * To find the #GQuark corresponding to a given string, use
 * g_quark_try_string().
 *
 * Another use for the string pool maintained for the quark functions
 * is string interning, using g_intern_string() or
 * g_intern_static_string(). An interned string is a canonical
 * representation for a string. One important advantage of interned
 * strings is that they can be compared for equality by a simple
 * pointer comparison, rather than using strcmp().
