/**
 * GParamSpec: (ref-func g_param_spec_ref_sink) (unref-func g_param_spec_unref) (set-value-func g_value_set_param) (get-value-func g_value_get_param)
 * @g_type_instance: private `GTypeInstance` portion
 * @name: name of this parameter: always an interned string
 * @flags: `GParamFlags` flags for this parameter
 * @value_type: the `GValue` type for this parameter
 * @owner_type: `GType` type that uses (introduces) this parameter
 *
 * `GParamSpec` encapsulates the metadata required to specify parameters, such as `GObject` properties.
 *
 * ## Parameter names
 *
 * A property name consists of one or more segments consisting of ASCII letters
 * and digits, separated by either the `-` or `_` character. The first
 * character of a property name must be a letter. These are the same rules as
 * for signal naming (see [func@GObject.signal_new]).
 *
 * When creating and looking up a `GParamSpec`, either separator can be
 * used, but they cannot be mixed. Using `-` is considerably more
 * efficient, and is the ‘canonical form’. Using `_` is discouraged.
