Unfortunately I'm a complete newbie with both gjs and typescript, so I
wouldn't really know how to make such definitions, or even know for sure if
registerClass is (still) officially supported.

Yes, it does the job, but it seems a shame that I can't take advantage of
all the facilities that should be available by using GObject with an OO
language. I suppose a good way to proceed for now would be to compromise by
deriving Typescript classes from GObject classes but assume that I can't
override native virtual functions this way and use signals instead.
