You’d need to add it to docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt so that
gtk-doc knows where to include it in the index.

However, this isn’t something I’d be interested in including in GLib:
it’s just as easy to open-code this in your application, and
prescribing the string formats for people to use would mean half of all
applications would find the format inappropriate.

If you find the macro useful, keep it in a header in your own
application. Do not prefix it with ‘G_’ as that’s the GLib namespace;
use your own namespace.
