I'm using gtkmm to build a UI. The task I'm trying to accomplish is
constructing a radio button from an action that is already part of a menu
and a toolbar. I'd like the new button to proxy for the existing action.

One likely candidate is Gtk::Action::create_tool_item(). Its documentation
states:

Deprecated: 3.10: Use a Gtk::ToolItem and associate it with a Action using
Gtk::Actionable::set_action_name() instead

So, I'd expect that ToolItem and by inheritance RadioToolButton would
implment this interface. In gtkmm-3.12 it does not and the stable
documentation reflects this as well.

However, the C library gtk-3.0 RadioToolButton does implement this
interface. So, my question is this.

*Should gtkmm Gtk::RadioToolButton implement Gtk::Actionable? Is the
absence of this int erface an oversight, or is there another way that the
features of Actionable are supported?*

There is a function, set_related_action() which associates the correct icon
for the radio button. It doesn't seem to put the button into the group and
it is also deprecated.

I tried this, and found that the button wasn't added to the action_group
and the icon didn't appear.

>  auto tool = Gtk::manage (new Gtk::RadioToolButton ());
>  gtk_actionable_set_action_name (GTK_ACTIONABLE (tool->gobj ()),
>  "sample-radio-action");


What am I missing?
