+While Dex is using GObject and GIO, it implements it's own fundamental
+type (DexObject) for which all other types inherit.
+Dex is a library supporting "Deferred Execution" with the explicit
+goal of integrating with GNOME and GTK-based applications.
+It provides primatives for supporting futures in a variety of ways
+with both read-only and writable views. Additionally, integration
+with existing asynchronous-based APIs is provided through the use of
+wrapper promises.
