It's a relatively new thing, haven't needed it yet. So far the focus has
been on GObject introspection. Definitions for other built-ins, such as
package, signals and system, would be helpful too.

I would quite like to try this after all, but I'm not sure of the best way to do it. I don't really like the idea of hard-wiring just the bits I'm interested in, it would be better to add some sort of reusable overrides system. But I think it would be OK to keep it very simple, basically a map keyed by module name with the values consisting of a string of extra lines of code to add to the .d.ts. Or would you prefer something more sophisticated such as separate lists for functions, symbols etc?
