 * involved, since g_object_new() is just a wrapper around g_object_newv()
 * as well.
 *
 * The advantage of an auxilary ConstructParams object over g_object_new()
 * is that the actual construction is always done in the Glib::Object ctor.
 * This allows for neat tricks like easy creation of derived custom types,
 * without adding special support to each ctor of every class.
 *
 * The comments in object.cc and objectbase.cc should explain in detail
