/** Action - An action.
 * Action represents a single named action.
 *
 * The main interface to an action is that it can be activated with activate().
 * This results in the signal_activate() signal being emitted. An activation
 * has a Glib::VariantBase parameter (which may be <tt>0</tt>). The correct
 * type for the parameter is determined by a static parameter type (which is
 * given at construction time).
 *
 * An action may optionally have a state, in which case the state may be set
 * with change_state(). This call takes a Glib::VariantBase. The correct type
 * for the state is determined by a static state type (which is given at
 * construction time).
 *
 * The state may have a hint associated with it, specifying its valid range.
 *
 * Action is merely the interface to the concept of an action, as described
 * above. Various implementations of actions exist, including SimpleAction and
 * Gtk::Action.
 *
 * In all cases, the implementing class is responsible for storing the name of
 * the action, the parameter type, the enabled state, the optional state type
 * and the state and emitting the appropriate signals when these change. The
 * implementor responsible for filtering calls to activate() and change_state()
 * for type safety and for the state being enabled.
 *
 * Probably the only useful thing to do with a Action is to put it inside of a
 * SimpleActionGroup.
