Superclasses: :class:`~gi.repository.GObject.Object`

``GtkLayoutChild`` is the base class for objects that are meant to hold
layout properties.

If a ``GtkLayoutManager`` has per-child properties, like their packing type,
or the horizontal and vertical span, or the icon name, then the layout
manager should use a ``GtkLayoutChild`` implementation to store those properties.

A ``GtkLayoutChild`` instance is only ever valid while a widget is part
of a layout.
