/**
 * The #GSettingsSchemaSource and #GSettingsSchema APIs provide a
 * mechanism for advanced control over the loading of schemas and a
 * mechanism for introspecting their content.
 * 
 * Plugin loading systems that wish to provide plugins a way to access
 * settings face the problem of how to make the schemas for these
 * settings visible to GSettings.  Typically, a plugin will want to ship
 * the schema along with itself and it won't be installed into the
 * standard system directories for schemas.
 * 
 * #GSettingsSchemaSource provides a mechanism for dealing with this by
 * allowing the creation of a new 'schema source' from which schemas can
 * be acquired.  This schema source can then become part of the metadata
 * associated with the plugin and queried whenever the plugin requires
 * access to some settings.
 * 
 * Consider the following example:
 * 
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * typedef struct
 * {
 * ...
 * GSettingsSchemaSource *schema_source;
 * ...
 * } Plugin;
 * 
 * Plugin *
 * initialise_plugin (const gchar *dir)
 * {
 * Plugin *plugin;
 * 
 * ...
 * 
 * plugin->schema_source =
 * g_settings_new_schema_source_from_directory (dir,
 * g_settings_schema_source_get_default (), FALSE, NULL);
 * 
 * ...
 * 
 * return plugin;
 * }
 * 
 * ...
 * 
 * GSettings *
 * plugin_get_settings (Plugin      *plugin,
 * const gchar *schema_id)
 * {
 * GSettingsSchema *schema;
 * 
 * if (schema_id == NULL)
 * schema_id = plugin->identifier;
 * 
 * schema = g_settings_schema_source_lookup (plugin->schema_source,
 * schema_id, FALSE);
 * 
 * if (schema == NULL)
 * {
 * ... disable the plugin or abort, etc ...
 * }
 * 
 * return g_settings_new_full (schema, NULL, NULL);
 * }
 * ]|
 * 
 * The code above shows how hooks should be added to the code that
 * initialises (or enables) the plugin to create the schema source and
 * how an API can be added to the plugin system to provide a convenient
 * way for the plugin to access its settings, using the schemas that it
 * ships.
 * 
 * From the standpoint of the plugin, it would need to ensure that it
 * ships a gschemas.compiled file as part of itself, and then simply do
 * the following:
 * 
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * {
 * GSettings *settings;
 * gint some_value;
 * 
 * settings = plugin_get_settings (self, NULL);
 * some_value = g_settings_get_int (settings, "some-value");
 * ...
 * }
 * ]|
 * 
 * It's also possible that the plugin system expects the schema source
 * files (ie: .gschema.xml files) instead of a gschemas.compiled file.
 * In that case, the plugin loading system must compile the schemas for
 * itself before attempting to create the settings source.
 *
 * Since: 2.32
