+ *
+ * GTK+ uses caches for #GtkStyles and #GdkGCs. These consume a lot of
+ * resources, so a #GCache is used to see if a #GtkStyle or #GdkGC with
+ * the required properties already exists. If it does, then the
+ * existing object is used instead of creating a new one.
+ *
+ * #GCache uses keys and values. A #GCache key describes the properties
+ * of a particular resource. A #GCache value is the actual resource.
