Description
PyGObject was ported to libgirepository-2.0. Other users should follow suit.
It is not possible to load both libgirepository-1.0 and libgirepository-2.0 into the same process. This can happen when an application uses libpeas to load plugins written in multiple languages, such as Python and Lua.

Research direction
Use the linked PyGObject commit as the reference point and inspect how lgi currently loads libgirepository-1.0. No files or tests are named, so first trace the library-loading and initialization entry points; done means lgi uses libgirepository-2.0 without loading both versions in the same process.
