May require a closer look (no action taken)

GtkRange

 * Widgets that are derived from `GtkRange` include
 * [class@Gtk.Scale] and [class@Gtk.Scrollbar].

What I can see:

  • The only claimed descendant of GtkRange is GtkScale
  • It's clear that GtkScrollbar contains within it a GtkRange; but from my naive perspective, may not descend from it.

Possibilities I foresee:

  • My interpretation of derived from is too literal
    • One could claim that Blue Ivy Carter and Lizzo both derive from Beyonce; but only the first is true in a literal sense.
  • GtkRange's descendants are not fully listed (and GtkScrollbar is actually a descendant).
  • GtkRanges comment is not quite correct
