Can you please not top post?

The posting to which you have replied has not appeared with me.  But it
(and the comments concerned) have nothing to do with gobject-introspection
or guile-gi.  "Understanding guile-gi" still appears as the notional title
of this thread so if you want to change the subject you might want also to
change the title to avoid complete confusion.
