/**
 * #GSignalGroup manages to simplify the process of connecting
 * many signals to a #GObject as a group. As such there is no API
 * to disconnect a signal from the group.
 * 
 * In particular, this allows you to:
 * 
 * - Change the target instance, which automatically causes disconnection
 * of the signals from the old instance and connecting to the new instance.
 * - Block and unblock signals as a group
 * - Ensuring that blocked state transfers across target instances.
 * 
 * One place you might want to use such a structure is with #GtkTextView and
 * #GtkTextBuffer. Often times, you'll need to connect to many signals on
 * #GtkTextBuffer from a #GtkTextView subclass. This allows you to create a
 * signal group during instance construction, simply bind the
 * #GtkTextView:buffer property to #GSignalGroup:target and connect
 * all the signals you need. When the #GtkTextView:buffer property changes
 * all of the signals will be transitioned correctly.
 *
 * Since: 2.72
