How to make a GListStore of fixnums / How to subclass GObject about cl-gtk4 HOT 2 OPEN

Currently, although it should theoretically be possible to achieve through some MOP (Metaobject Protocol) tricks, subclassing a GObject class in Lisp is still quite difficult. This is because it would require re-implementing the macros that are present in C. Additionally, introducing MOP might require refactoring the object representation in cl-gobject-introspection because, at present, using type-of in Lisp cannot differentiate between different types of GObjects. Therefore, this would be a significant undertaking. At this stage, I believe using strings to fulfill your requirements is a good solution. Lisp provides prin1-to-string and read-from-string, which allow for easy conversion between strings and Lisp data structures as long as unreadable objects are not involved.

I understand, strings work fine, I wanted to use integers merely as an optmization, but it's not a problem, thank you for your answer.
