+ * This function is responsible for converting the values collected from
+ * a variadic argument list into contents suitable for storage in a #GValue.
+ * 
+ * This function should setup `value` similar to #GTypeValueInitFunc; e.g.
+ * for a string value that does not allow `NULL` pointers, it needs to either
+ * emit an error, or do an implicit conversion by storing an empty string.
+ * 
+ * The `value` passed in to this function has a zero-filled data array, so
+ * just like for #GTypeValueInitFunc it is guaranteed to not contain any old
+ * contents that might need freeing.
+ * 
+ * The `n_collect_values` argument is the string length of the `collect_format`
+ * field of #GTypeValueTable, and `collect_values` is an array of #GTypeCValue
+ * with length of `n_collect_values,` containing the collected values according
+ * to `collect_format`.
+ * 
+ * The `collect_flags` argument provided as a hint by the caller. It may
+ * contain the flag %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS indicating that the collected
+ * value contents may be considered ‘static’ for the duration of the `value`
+ * lifetime. Thus an extra copy of the contents stored in `collect_values` is
+ * not required for assignment to `value`.
+ * 
+ * For our above string example, we continue with:
+ * 
+ * 
+ * ```c
+ * if (!collect_values[0].v_pointer)
+ *   value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup ("");
+ * else if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS)
+ *   {
+ *     value->data[0].v_pointer = collect_values[0].v_pointer;
+ *     // keep a flag for the value_free() implementation to not free this string
+ *     value->data[1].v_uint = G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS;
+ *   }
+ * else
+ *   value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
+ * return NULL;
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * 
+ * It should be noted, that it is generally a bad idea to follow the
+ * %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS hint for reference counted types. Due to
+ * reentrancy requirements and reference count assertions performed
+ * by the signal emission code, reference counts should always be
+ * incremented for reference counted contents stored in the `value->data`
+ * array. To deviate from our string example for a moment, and taking
+ * a look at an exemplary implementation for `GTypeValueTable.collect_value()`
+ * of `GObject`:
+ * 
+ * 
+ * ```c
+ * GObject *object = G_OBJECT (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
+ * g_return_val_if_fail (object != NULL,
+ *    g_strdup_printf ("Object %p passed as invalid NULL pointer", object));
+ * // never honour G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS for ref-counted types
+ * value->data[0].v_pointer = g_object_ref (object);
+ * return NULL;
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * 
+ * The reference count for valid objects is always incremented, regardless
+ * of `collect_flags`. For invalid objects, the example returns a newly
+ * allocated string without altering `value`.
+ * 
+ * Upon success, `collect_value()` needs to return `NULL`. If, however,
+ * an error condition occurred, `collect_value()` should return a newly
+ * allocated string containing an error diagnostic.
+ * 
+ * The calling code makes no assumptions about the `value` contents being
+ * valid upon error returns, `value` is simply thrown away without further
+ * freeing. As such, it is a good idea to not allocate `GValue` contents
+ * prior to returning an error; however, `collect_values()` is not obliged
+ * to return a correctly setup `value` for error returns, simply because
+ * any non-`NULL` return is considered a fatal programming error, and
+ * further program behaviour is undefined.
+ * @callback

+/**
+ * This function is responsible for converting the values collected from
+ * a variadic argument list into contents suitable for storage in a #GValue.
+ * 
+ * This function should setup `value` similar to #GTypeValueInitFunc; e.g.
+ * for a string value that does not allow `NULL` pointers, it needs to either
+ * emit an error, or do an implicit conversion by storing an empty string.
+ * 
+ * The `value` passed in to this function has a zero-filled data array, so
+ * just like for #GTypeValueInitFunc it is guaranteed to not contain any old
+ * contents that might need freeing.
+ * 
+ * The `n_collect_values` argument is the string length of the `collect_format`
+ * field of #GTypeValueTable, and `collect_values` is an array of #GTypeCValue
+ * with length of `n_collect_values,` containing the collected values according
+ * to `collect_format`.
+ * 
+ * The `collect_flags` argument provided as a hint by the caller. It may
+ * contain the flag %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS indicating that the collected
+ * value contents may be considered ‘static’ for the duration of the `value`
+ * lifetime. Thus an extra copy of the contents stored in `collect_values` is
+ * not required for assignment to `value`.
+ * 
+ * For our above string example, we continue with:
+ * 
+ * 
+ * ```c
+ * if (!collect_values[0].v_pointer)
+ *   value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup ("");
+ * else if (collect_flags & G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS)
+ *   {
+ *     value->data[0].v_pointer = collect_values[0].v_pointer;
+ *     // keep a flag for the value_free() implementation to not free this string
+ *     value->data[1].v_uint = G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS;
+ *   }
+ * else
+ *   value->data[0].v_pointer = g_strdup (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
+ * return NULL;
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * 
+ * It should be noted, that it is generally a bad idea to follow the
+ * %G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS hint for reference counted types. Due to
+ * reentrancy requirements and reference count assertions performed
+ * by the signal emission code, reference counts should always be
+ * incremented for reference counted contents stored in the `value->data`
+ * array. To deviate from our string example for a moment, and taking
+ * a look at an exemplary implementation for `GTypeValueTable.collect_value()`
+ * of `GObject`:
+ * 
+ * 
+ * ```c
+ * GObject *object = G_OBJECT (collect_values[0].v_pointer);
+ * g_return_val_if_fail (object != NULL,
+ *    g_strdup_printf ("Object %p passed as invalid NULL pointer", object));
+ * // never honour G_VALUE_NOCOPY_CONTENTS for ref-counted types
+ * value->data[0].v_pointer = g_object_ref (object);
+ * return NULL;
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * 
+ * The reference count for valid objects is always incremented, regardless
+ * of `collect_flags`. For invalid objects, the example returns a newly
+ * allocated string without altering `value`.
+ * 
+ * Upon success, `collect_value()` needs to return `NULL`. If, however,
+ * an error condition occurred, `collect_value()` should return a newly
+ * allocated string containing an error diagnostic.
+ * 
+ * The calling code makes no assumptions about the `value` contents being
+ * valid upon error returns, `value` is simply thrown away without further
+ * freeing. As such, it is a good idea to not allocate `GValue` contents
+ * prior to returning an error; however, `collect_values()` is not obliged
+ * to return a correctly setup `value` for error returns, simply because
+ * any non-`NULL` return is considered a fatal programming error, and
+ * further program behaviour is undefined.
+ * @callback 
+ * @param value the value to initialize
+ * @param collect_values the collected values
+ * @param collect_flags optional flags
+ * @returns `NULL` on success, otherwise a   newly allocated error string on failure
