That is, their type specific implementations are 38 relocatable/unloadable during runtime. 39 </para></listitem> 40 <listitem><para> 41 A collection of fundamental type implementations, such as integers, 42 doubles, enums and structured types, to name a few. 43 </para></listitem> 44 <listitem><para> 45 A sample fundamental type implementation to base object hierarchies 46 upon - the GObject fundamental type. 47 </para></listitem> 48 <listitem><para> 49 A signal system that allows very flexible user customization of 50 virtual/overridable object methods and can serve as a powerful 51 notification mechanism. 52 </para></listitem> 53 <listitem><para> 54 An extensible parameter/value system, supporting all the provided 55 fundamental types that can be used to generically handle
