 * of GIO's scope. However implementations of Icon may contain the name of an
 * icon (see ThemedIcon), or the path to an icon (see LoadableIcon).
 *
 * To obtain a hash of an Icon instance, see hash().
 *
 * To check if two Icon instances are equal, see equal().
 *
 * For serializing an Icon, use serialize() and deserialize().
