GListModel is meant to be used with GObject for storage, not with
GBoxed types, or with other fundamental types.

The reason why GListModel uses void* pointers is to avoid continuous
type checking, but that does not imply that you can store whatever
pointer-sized data you want into it.

No, that cannot happen without breaking binary compatibility,
especially with regards to language bindings.

Ciao,
