foo_base_finalize will be called everytime a class of a derived type
or foo gets finalized. foo_class_finalize will be called when the foo
class gets finalized. only classes of dynmic types can be finalized.
dynmic types are registered with an associated plugin though
g_type_register_dynamic(). foo wasn't registred through
g_type_register_dynamic(), so it's class will never be finalized and
foo_class_finalize() won't ever be called.

in brief: fundamental types are always static, so their classes never
          get fnalized.

as a complaint: dynmic fundamental types aren't supported.
response:       right, it's a WONTFIX issue.
