--
-- == Basic attributes interface
--
-- Attributes of an object can be get, set and constructed. For types
-- descending from 'Data.GI.Base.BasicTypes.GObject', properties are
-- encoded in attributes, although attributes are slightly more
-- general (every property of a `Data.GI.Base.BasicTypes.GObject` is an
-- attribute, but we can also have attributes for types not descending
-- from `Data.GI.Base.BasicTypes.GObject`).
--
-- If you're wondering what the possible attributes of a GObject are,
-- look at the list of properties in the documentation, e.g. the
-- Properties heading of the docs for 'GI.Gtk.Objects.Button' lists
-- properties such as @image@ and @relief@. Parent classes may also
-- introduce properties, so since a Button is an instance of
-- @IsActionable@, it inherits properties like @actionName@ from
-- 'GI.Gtk.Interfaces.Actionable' too.
--
-- As an example consider a @button@ widget and a property (of the
-- Button class, or any of its parent classes or implemented
-- interfaces) called "label". The simplest way of getting the value
-- of the button is to do
--
-- > value <- getButtonLabel button
--
-- And for setting:
--
-- > setButtonLabel button label
--
-- This mechanism quickly becomes rather cumbersome, for example for
-- setting the "window" property in a DOMDOMWindow in WebKit:
--
-- > win <- getDOMDOMWindowWindow dom
--
-- and perhaps more importantly, one needs to chase down the type
-- which introduces the property:
--
-- > setWidgetSensitive button False
--
-- There is no @setButtonSensitive@, since it is the @Widget@ type
-- that introduces the "sensitive" property.
--
-- == Overloaded attributes
--
-- A much more convenient overloaded attribute resolution API is
-- provided by this module. Getting the value of an object's attribute
-- is straightforward:
--
-- > value <- get button _label
--
-- The definition of @_label@ is basically a 'Proxy' encoding the name
-- of the attribute to get:
--
-- > _label = fromLabelProxy (Proxy :: Proxy "label")
--
-- These proxies can be automatically generated by invoking the code
-- generator with the @-l@ option. The leading underscore is simply so
-- the autogenerated identifiers do not pollute the namespace, but if
-- this is not a concern the autogenerated names (in the autogenerated
-- @GI/Properties.hs@) can be edited as one wishes.
--
-- In addition, for ghc >= 8.0, one can directly use the overloaded
-- labels provided by GHC itself. Using the "OverloadedLabels"
-- extension, the code above can also be written as
--
-- > value <- get button #label
--
-- The syntax for setting or updating an attribute is only slightly more
-- complex. At the simplest level it is just:
--
-- > set button [ _label := value ]
--
-- or for the WebKit example above
--
-- > set dom [_window := win]
--
-- However as the list notation would indicate, you can set or update multiple
-- attributes of the same object in one go:
--
-- > set button [ _label := value, _sensitive := False ]
--
-- You are not limited to setting the value of an attribute, you can also
-- apply an update function to an attribute's value. That is the function
-- receives the current value of the attribute and returns the new value.
--
-- > set spinButton [ _value :~ (+1) ]
--
-- There are other variants of these operators, see 'AttrOp'
-- below. ':=>' and ':~>' are like ':=' and ':~' but operate in the
-- 'IO' monad rather than being pure.
--
-- Attributes can also be set during construction of a
-- `Data.GI.Base.BasicTypes.GObject` using `Data.GI.Base.Constructible.new`
--
-- > button <- new Button [_label := "Can't touch this!", _sensitive := False]
--
-- In addition for value being set/get having to have the right type,
-- there can be attributes that are read-only, or that can only be set
-- during construction with `Data.GI.Base.Properties.new`, but cannot be
-- `set` afterwards. That these invariants hold is also checked during
-- compile time.
--
-- == Nullable attributes
--
-- Whenever the attribute is represented as a pointer in the C side,
-- it is often the case that the underlying C representation admits or
-- returns @NULL@ as a valid value for the property. In these cases
-- the `get` operation may return a `Maybe` value, with `Nothing`
-- representing the @NULL@ pointer value (notable exceptions are
-- `Data.GI.Base.BasicTypes.GList` and
-- `Data.GI.Base.BasicTypes.GSList`, for which @NULL@ is represented
-- simply as the empty list). This can be overridden in the
-- introspection data, since sometimes attributes are non-nullable,
-- even if the type would allow for @NULL@.
--
-- For convenience, in nullable cases the `set` operation will by
-- default /not/ take a `Maybe` value, but rather assume that the
-- caller wants to set a non-@NULL@ value. If setting a @NULL@ value
-- is desired, use `clear` as follows
--
-- > clear object _propName
--
