 * @instance: An object instance.
 * @member_object: Another object to be owned by @instanced, or %NULL.
 * @expected_type: The type of @member_object.  It is checked and a critical message is emitted if it does not
 *                 conform.
 * @member_field: Pointer to location storing the current member object to be replaced by @member_object.
 * @...: List of quadruplets of the form signal name, #GCallback callback, #gulong pointer to location to hold the
 *       signal handler id, and #GConnectFlags connection flags.
 *
 * Replaces a member object of another object, handling signal connection and disconnection.
 *
 * If @member_object is not %NULL a reference is taken, sinking any floating objects (and conversely, the reference to
 * the previous member object is released).
 *
 * The purpose is to simplify bookkeeping in classes that have settable member objects and (usually but not
 * necessarily) need to connect to some signals of these member objects.  Since this function both connects and
 * disconnects signals it must be always called with the same set of signals, including callbacks and flags, for
 * a specific member object.
 *
 * Example for a <type>GwyFoo</type> class owning a #GwyGradient member object, assuming the usual conventions:
 * |[
 * typedef struct _GwyFooPrivate GwyFooPrivate;
 *
 * struct _GwyFooPrivate {
 *     GwyGradient *gradient;
 *     gulong gradient_data_changed_id;
 * };
 *
 * static gboolean
 * set_gradient(GwyFoo *foo)
 * {
 *     GwyFooPrivate *priv = G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_PRIVATE(foo, GWY_TYPE_FOO,
 *                                                       GwyFooPrivate);
 *     if (!gwy_set_member_object(foo, gradient, GWY_TYPE_GRADIENT,
 *                                &priv->gradient,
 *                                "data-changed", &foo_gradient_data_changed,
 *                                &priv->gradient_data_changed_id,
 *                                G_CONNECT_SWAPPED,
 *                                NULL))
 *         return FALSE;
 *
 *     // Do whatever else needs to be done if the gradient changes.
 *     return TRUE;
 * }
 * ]|
 * The gradient setter then usually only calls <function>set_gradient()</function> and disposing of the member object
 * again only calls <function>set_gradient()</function> but with %NULL gradient.
 *
 * Returns: %TRUE if @member_field was changed.  %FALSE means the new member is identical to the current one and the
 *          function reduced to no-op (or that an assertion faled).
 *
 * Since: 2.49
