+        GTK+3 used five different virtual functions in GtkWidget to
+        implement size requisition, namely the gtk_widget_get_preferred_width()
+        family of functions. To simplify widget implementations, GTK+4 uses
+        only one virtual function, GtkWidgetClass::measure() that widgets
+        have to implement.

- *   operates in the oposite orientation. It’s rare that a widget actually
- *   does %GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_WIDTH_FOR_HEIGHT requests but this can happen

- * @get_preferred_width: This is called by containers to obtain the minimum
- *   and natural width of a widget. A widget will never be allocated a width
- *   less than its minimum and will only ever be allocated a width greater
- *   than the natural width once all of the said widget’s siblings have

- * @get_preferred_height_for_width: This is similar to
- *   #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height() except that it is passed a
- *   contextual width to request height for. By implementing this virtual
- *   method it is possible for a #GtkLabel to tell its parent how much height

+ * @measure: This is called by containers to obtain the minimum and natural
