/** The Box widget organizes child widgets into a rectangular area.
 *
 * The rectangular area of a Box is organized into either a single row
 * or a single column of child widgets depending upon the orientation.
 * Thus, all children of a Box are allocated one dimension in common,
 * which is the height of a row, or the width of a column.
 *
 * Gtk::Box uses a notion of packing. Packing refers to adding widgets with
 * reference to a particular position in a Gtk::Container. There are two
 * reference positions: the start and the end of the box. For a vertical Box, the start
 * is defined as the top of the box and the end is defined as the bottom.  For
 * a horizontal Box the start is defined as the left side and the end is defined as the
 * right side.  Use repeated calls to pack_start() to pack widgets into a
 * Gtk::Box from start to end. Use pack_end() to add widgets from end to start.
 * You may intersperse these calls and add widgets from both ends of the same
 * Gtk::Box. The last widget added with pack_start() will be placed just before
 * the last widget added with pack_end()
 *
 * Because Gtk::Box is a Gtk::Container, you may also use Gtk::Container::add()
 * to insert widgets, and they will be packed as if with pack_start(). Use
 * Gtk::Container::remove() to remove widgets.
 *
 * Use set_homogeneous() to specify whether or not all children of the Gtk::Box
 * occupy the same amount of space.
 *
 * Use set_spacing() to determine the minimum
 * space placed between all children in the Gtk::Box.  Note that
 * spacing is added between the children, while
 * padding added by gtk_box_pack_start() or gtk_box_pack_end() is added
 * on either side of the widget it belongs to.
 *
 * Use reorder_child() to
 * move a child widget to a different place in the box.
 *
 * Use
 * set_child_packing() to reset the pack options and padding attributes of any
 * Gtk::Box child. Use query_child_packing() to query these fields.
