 * The GRecMutex struct is an opaque data structure to represent a
 * recursive mutex. It is similar to a #GMutex with the difference
 * that it is possible to lock a GRecMutex multiple times in the same
 * thread without deadlock. When doing so, care has to be taken to
 * unlock the recursive mutex as often as it has been locked.
 * 
 * If a #GRecMutex is allocated in static storage then it can be used
 * without initialisation.  Otherwise, you should call
 * g_rec_mutex_init() on it and g_rec_mutex_clear() when done.
 * 
 * A GRecMutex should only be accessed with the
 * g_rec_mutex_ functions.
