Current descriptions are: Use dev-libs/gobject-introspection for introspection Enable GObject introspection. Currently it is hard to tell which functionality is enabled through this flag and the meaning of the descriptions for when the flag is off are even more unclear. Does it mean that introspection will not be used or will some other way of introspection be used? Either way, perhaps the people in the know could shed some light on this issue?
