GBoxed descendants have their own memory management infrastructure and thus also 
their own typemap variants: for functions returning newly constructed instances 
of GBoxed descendants, use the _own typemap variant.  Then, Glib::Boxed::DESTROY 
will call the free function registered for the GBoxed descendant.  (Perl 
packages representing GBoxed descendants are automatically set up to inherit 
from Glib::Boxed.)
