GRefPtr<> objects that are constructed from newly-created GObjects (or are adopting an existing reference) should do so exclusively through adoptGRef(), which would have to sink any floating reference. This would allow always using adoptGRef() to adopt-or-sink the GObject reference, instead of mixing the use of adoptGRef() with the GRefPtr<T>::GRefPtr(T*) constructor, depending on the floating nature of the given object that can be changed through API breaks.
