I've used it to create a pattern, in which all access to children was
inside the class, but I could have additional parameters to the
constructor of that class.

I'm shocked. I'm doing nearly the same thing in my code, but using the
changes to glademm from my patch. This idea seems cleaner than mine,
because in my version I use a static factory function, and here just a
constructor is needed. I'll test this idea.
