  // Glib::ObjectBase is used as virtual base class.  This means the ObjectBase
  // ctor runs before all others -- either implicitly or explicitly.  Each of
  // the available ctors initializes custom_type_name_ in a different way:
  //
  // 1) default:      custom_type_name_ = "gtkmm__anonymous_custom_type"
  // 2) const char*:  custom_type_name_ = custom_type_name
  // 3) type_info:    custom_type_name_ = custom_type_info.name()
  //
  // All classes generated by gtkmmproc use ctor 2) with custom_type_name = 0,
  // which essentially means it's not a custom type.  This is used to optimize
  // vfunc and signal handler callbacks -- since the C++ virtual methods are
  // not overridden, invocation can be skipped.
  //
  // The default ctor 1) is called implicitly from the ctor of user-derived
  // classes -- yes, even if e.g. Gtk::Button calls ctor 2), a derived ctor
  // always overrides this choice.  The language itself ensures that the ctor
  // is only invoked once.
  //
  // Ctor 3) is a special feature to allow creation of derived types on the
  // fly, without having to use g_object_new() manually.  This feature is
  // sometimes necessary, e.g. to implement a custom Gtk::CellRenderer.  The
  // neat trick with the virtual base class ctor makes it possible to reuse
  // the same direct base class' ctor as with non-custom types.
