/**
 * GWeatherLocationLevel:
 * @GWEATHER_LOCATION_WORLD: A location representing the entire world.
 * @GWEATHER_LOCATION_REGION: A location representing a continent or
 * other top-level region.
 * @GWEATHER_LOCATION_COUNTRY: A location representing a "country" (or
 * other geographic unit that has an ISO-3166 country code)
 * @GWEATHER_LOCATION_ADM1: A location representing a "first-level
 * administrative division"; ie, a state, province, or similar
 * division.
 * @GWEATHER_LOCATION_CITY: A location representing a city
 * @GWEATHER_LOCATION_WEATHER_STATION: A location representing a
 * weather station.
 * @GWEATHER_LOCATION_DETACHED: A location that is detached from the
 * database, for example because it was loaded from external storage
 * and could not be fully recovered. The parent of this location is
 * the nearest weather station.
 * @GWEATHER_LOCATION_NAMED_TIMEZONE: A location representing a named
 * or special timezone in the world, such as UTC
 *
 * The size/scope of a particular #GWeatherLocation.
 *
 * Locations form a hierarchy, with a %GWEATHER_LOCATION_WORLD
 * location at the top, divided into regions or countries, and so on.
 * Countries may or may not be divided into "adm1"s, and "adm1"s may
 * or may not be divided into "adm2"s. A city will have at least one,
 * and possibly several, weather stations inside it. Weather stations
 * will never appear outside of cities.
 *
 * Building a database with gweather_location_get_world() will never
 * create detached instances, but deserializing might.
