/** Failable object initialization interface
*
* Initable is implemented by objects that can fail during initialization. If
* an object implements this interface the init() function must be called as the
* first thing after construction. If init() is not called, or if it returns an
* error, all further operations on the object should fail, generally with a
* G_IO_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED error.
*
* Users of objects implementing this are not intended to use the interface
* method directly, instead it will be used automatically in various ways. For C
* applications you generally just call g_initable_new() directly, or indirectly
* via a foo_thing_new() wrapper. This will call g_initable_init() under the
* cover, returning nullptr and setting a GError on failure.
*
* For bindings in languages where the native constructor supports exceptions
* the binding could check for objects implemention GInitable during normal
* construction and automatically initialize them, throwing an exception on
* failure.
