// OK guys, please don't kill me for that. Let me explain what happens here.
//
// The task:
// ---------
// a) Autogenerate a property ID number for each custom property. This is an
// unsigned integer, which doesn't have to be assigned continuously. I.e.,
// it can be everything but 0.
// b) If more than one object of the same class is instantiated, then of course
// the already installed properties must be used. That means, a property ID
// must not be associated with a single Glib::Property<> instance. Rather,
// the ID has to be associated with the class somehow.
// c) With only a GObject pointer and a property ID (and perhaps GParamSpec*
// if necessary), it must be possible to acquire a reference to the property
// wrapper instance.
//
// The current solution:
// ---------------------
// a) Assign an ID to a Glib::PropertyBase by calculating its offset in bytes
// relative to the beginning of the object's memory. dynamic_cast<void*>
// is used to retrieve a pointer to the very beginning of an instance.
// b) Recalculate a specific PropertyBase pointer by adding the property ID
// (i.e. the byte offset) to the object start pointer. The result is then
// just casted to PropertyBase*.
//
// Drawbacks:
// ----------
// a) It's a low-level hack. Should be portable, yes, but we can only do very
// limited error checking.
// b) All Glib::Property<> instances are absolutely required to be direct data
// members of the class that implements the property. That seems a natural
// thing to do, but it's questionable whether it should be a requirement.
//
// Advantages:
// -----------
// a) Although low-level, it's extremely easy to implement. The nasty code is
// concentrated in only two non-exposed utility functions, and it works
// just fine.
// b) It's efficient, and the memory footprint is very small too.
// c) I actually tried other ways, too, but ran into dead-ends everywhere.
// It's probably possible to implement this without calculating offsets,
// but it'll be very complicated, and involve a lot of qdata pointers to
// property tables andwhatnot.
//
// We can reimplement this later if necessary.
