/** Build an interface from an XML UI definition description.

 * When one of these objects is created, the XML file is read, and the user interface
 * is created. The Gtk::Builder object then provides an interface for accessing the
 * widgets in the user interface by the names assigned to them inside the UI description.
 *
 * A Gtk::Builder holds a reference to all objects that it has constructed
 * and drops these references when it is deleted. This deletion can
 * cause the destruction of non-widget objects or widgets which are not
 * contained in a toplevel window. For toplevel windows constructed by a
 * builder, it is the responsibility of the user to get them with get_widget()
 * or get_widget_derived() and delete them to get rid of them and all
 * the widgets they contain.
 *
 * The methods get_widget() and get_widget_derived()
 * can be used to access the widgets in the interface by the names assigned
 * to them inside the UI description. Toplevel windows returned by these
 * methods will stay around until the user explicitly deletes them.
 * Other widgets will either be part of a
 * larger hierarchy constructed by the builder (in which case you should
 * not have to worry about their lifecycle), or without a parent, in which
 * case they have to be added to some container before the builder is deleted
 * to make use of them.
 * Non-widget objects need to be fetched with get_object() or get_objects()
 * to keep them beyond the lifespan of the builder.
