  • objects: It uses to print the type name: not useful at all
  • enums: It does print what a debug impl would print
  • flags: It does print what a debug impl would print

So just get rid of that generated code and let the bindings generate a display impl manually when it makes sense

Note that the special display implementations are kept, if the type has a to_string / name or similarly named methods. I won't touch these

Yes keeping those is a good idea.

could it be worth to have a display_method = ... in Gir.toml instead of manually overriding?
Eg for GFile it would point to parse_name

(This can also be a follow up)

Sure, not going to do that though :) it shouldn't be too difficult to add a new config that make the configured function name used in the display impl
