 * In addition to the key/value pairs, a Gst::Structure also has a name. The

 *
 * Gst::Structure is used by various GStreamer subsystems to store information

 * because it usually is part of a higher level object such as Gst::Caps. It
 * provides a means to enforce mutability using the refcount of the parent.
