OK, that's the point!

It is std::map plus GQuark, an int=>char* association for
memory saving on key names.

I agree, it isn't worth adding it to glibmm, it is too much
close to std::map.

I'll just write a C++ version of GQuark, but I would take
a long time to merge it into glibmm, as I don't know the
mechanics of gtkmm's development. I'll write it soon, if
someone wants it please email me. It's too trivial, tough.

Thank you for clarifing me.
