No, there is no documentation yet. At the moment it simply adds implicit
calls in the form of
g_object_set_data (object, "vala-creation-function", "Method")
after every object creation expression `new Foo(...)`. "Method" is
replaced by the name of the method that contains the object creation
expression.
The purpose is to aid in debugging as you can call g_object_get_data in
gdb to determine where a particular object was created. This obviously
doesn't work for objects created indirectly by a library function.
