/**
 * SECTION:gstdynamictypefactory
 * @title: GstDynamicTypeFactory
 * @short_description: Represents a registered dynamically loadable GType
 * @see_also: #GstPlugin, #GstPluginFeature.
 *
 * #GstDynamicTypeFactory is used to represent a type that can be
 * automatically loaded the first time it is used. For example,
 * a non-standard type for use in caps fields.
 *
 * In general, applications and plugins don't need to use the factory
 * beyond registering the type in a plugin init function. Once that is
 * done, the type is stored in the registry, and ready as soon as the
 * registry is loaded.
 *
 * ## Registering a type for dynamic loading

 * static gboolean
 * plugin_init (GstPlugin * plugin)
 * {
 *   return gst_dynamic_type_register (plugin, GST_TYPE_CUSTOM_CAPS_FIELD);
