Nope, I haven't done anything on it yet.

Note that those functions should also do run-time checks themselves,
e.g. if you try to set the value of an integral-type field to a pointer,
or try to set the value of a pointer-type field to an integral value,
it should panic with a "g_assert_not_reached()" call.
