/**
 * SECTION:gtkactionable
 * @title: GtkActionable
 * @short_description: An interface for widgets that can be associated
 *     with actions
 *
 * This interface provides a convenient way of associating widgets with
 * actions on a #GtkApplicationWindow or #GtkApplication.
 *
 * It primarily consists of two properties: #GtkActionable:action-name
 * and #GtkActionable:action-target. There are also some convenience APIs
 * for setting these properties.
 *
 * The action will be looked up in action groups that are found among
 * the widgets ancestors. Most commonly, these will be the actions with
 * the "win" or "app" prefix that are associated with the #GtkApplicationWindow
 * or "GtkApplication, but other action groups that are added with
 * gtk_widget_insert_action_group() will be consulted as well.
 *
 * Since: 3.4

 * The target value has two purposes.  First, it is used as the

 * should be rendered as “active” - the widget is active if the state
 * is equal to the given target.
 *
 * Consider the example of associating a set of buttons with a #GAction
 * with string state in a typical “radio button” situation.  Each button
 * will be associated with the same action, but with a different target
 * value for that action.  Clicking on a particular button will activate
 * the action with the target of that button, which will typically cause
 * the action’s state to change to that value.  Since the action’s state
 * is now equal to the target value of the button, the button will now
 * be rendered as active (and the other buttons, with different targets,
 * rendered inactive).
