Re: pango_script_get_sample_language()

[Phil Clayton <phil clayton veonix com>]

g_boxed_free knows what to do because PangoLanguage has been registered 
as a boxed type:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/pango/tree/pango/pango-language.c?h=1.40.12&id=fd429398a64bc2d7a01da64efa736bbb6eec6a29#n145

Note that some records, e.g. PangoLogAttr, are not boxed types so you 
would't use the g_boxed_... functions for those.  You would find that 
our sooner or later because there is no glib:get-type attribute for such 
records so you won't have a GType to give to g_boxed_[copy|free].
