'abstract' would mean I am forced to override and implement the method
when subclassing because there was no implementation, but Gtk.Container
is not an abstract class and already has a default implementation for
'forall'.

With 'virtual method' I mean a method that may be overridden in my
subclass. 'class methods' I refer to as 'static methods'.
