+/**
+ * SECTION:Closures
+ * @Short_description: Functions as first-class objects
+ * 
+ * A #GClosure represents a callback supplied by the programmer. It will generally
+ * comprise a function of some kind and a marshaller used to call it. It is the 
+ * reponsibility of the marshaller to convert the arguments for the invocation 
+ * from #GValue<!-- -->s into a suitable form, perform the callback on the 
+ * converted arguments, and transform the return value back into a #GValue.
+ * 
+ * In the case of C programs, a closure usually just holds a pointer to a function
+ * and maybe a data argument, and the marshaller converts between #GValue<!-- -->
+ * and native C types. The GObject library provides the #GCClosure type for this
+ * purpose. Bindings for other languages need marshallers which 
+ * convert between #GValue<!-- -->s and suitable representations in the runtime
+ * of the language in order to use functions written in that languages as 
+ * callbacks.
+ * 
+ * Within GObject, closures play an important role in the implementation of 
+ * signals. When a signal is registered, the @c_marshaller argument to 
+ * g_signal_new() specifies the default C marshaller for any closure which is 
+ * connected to this signal. GObject provides a number of C marshallers  
+ * for this purpose, see the g_cclosure_marshal_*() functions. Additional
+ * C marshallers can be generated with the <link linkend="glib-genmarshal"
+ * >glib-genmarshal</link> utility.
+ * Closures can be explicitly connected to signals with 
+ * g_signal_connect_closure(), but it usually more convenient to let GObject 
+ * create a closure automatically by using one of the g_signal_connect_*() 
+ * functions which take a callback function/user data pair.
+ * 
+ * Using closures has a number of important advantages over a simple
+ * callback function/data pointer combination:
+ * <itemizedlist>
+ * <listitem><para>
+ * Closures allow the callee to get the types of the callback parameters, 
+ * which means that language bindings don't have to write individual glue 
+ * for each callback type.
+ * </para></listitem>
+ * <listitem><para>
+ * The reference counting of #GClosure makes it easy to handle reentrancy 
+ * right; if a callback is removed while it is being invoked, the closure 
+ * and it's parameters won't be freed until the invocation finishes. 
+ * </para></listitem>
+ * <listitem><para>
+ * g_closure_invalidate() and invalidation notifiers allow callbacks to be
+ * automatically removed when the objects they point to go away.
+ * </para></listitem>
+ * </itemizedlist>
