+ * Allows auto-connecting Glade/GtkBuilder signals in plugins.
+ *
+ * When a plugin uses GtkBuilder to load some UI from file/string,
+ * the gtk_builder_connect_signals() function is unable to automatically
+ * connect to the plugin's signal handlers. A plugin could itself use
+ * the gtk_builder_connect_signals_full() function to automatically
+ * connect to the signal handler functions by loading it's GModule
+ * and retrieving pointers to the handler functions, but rather than
+ * each plugin having to do that, this function handles it automatically.
+ *
+ * @code
+ * ...
+ * GeanyPlugin *geany_plugin;
+ *
+ * G_MODULE_EXPORT void
+ * myplugin_button_clicked(GtkButton *button, gpointer user_data)
+ * {
+ *   g_print("Button pressed\n");
+ * }
+ *
+ * void plugin_init(GeanyData *data)
+ * {
+ *   GtkBuilder *builder = gtk_builder_new();
+ *   gtk_builder_add_from_file(builder, "gui.glade", NULL);
+ *   plugin_builder_connect_signals(geany_plugin, builder, NULL);
+ *   ...
+ * }
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @note It's important that you prefix your callback handlers with
+ * a plugin-specific prefix to avoid clashing with other plugins since
+ * the function symbols will be exported process-wide.
+ *
+ * @param plugin Must be @ref geany_plugin.
+ * @param builder The GtkBuilder to connect signals with.
+ * @param user_data User data to pass to the connected signal handlers.
+ *
+ * @since 1.24, plugin API 217.
