Here's what i do in that situation;
Goto http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml and find that the
complete name for introspection is gobject-introspection, so google
that and find https://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection

Now ask someone who codes WTF that page means :) Sounds like it allows
programs to use code from different languages. Assume gentoo devs know
what they're doing, so accept their decision and stop thinking about
it.
