Q1) How to analysis "ATOM" in Lablgtk?

See the Gdk.Atom module.


BTW, recently I played with selections with lablgtk2 and I noticed
something strange in the API. Method "add_selection_target" of
GObj.misc_ops has a "target" parameter of string type. I just wanted to
handle usual textual selections but the string constant corresponding to
that kind of selections ("STRING") is not exported in the lablgtk2 API.

Thus must either write a magic "STRING" string constant in its code or
use Gdk.Atom.name like: foo#add_selection_target ~target:(Gdk.Atom.name
Gdk.Atom.string) ....  rather clumsy IMO.

Is it possible to either permit passing atoms to add_selection_target or
export somewhere the string constants corresponding to the various
Gdk.Atom s?
