public bool replace_data<G,T> (string key, G oldval, owned T newval, out DestroyNotify? old_destroy)
Compares the user data for the key key on this with oldval, and if they are
the same, replaces oldval with newval.
This is like a typical atomic compare-and-exchange operation, for user data on an object.
If the previous value was replaced then ownership of the old value (oldval) is passed to the caller, including the
registered destroy notify for it (passed out in old_destroy). It’s up to the caller to free this as needed, which may or
may not include using old_destroy as sometimes replacement should not destroy the object in the normal way.
See g_object_set_data for guidance on using a small, bounded set of values for key.
