                            guint64 star5);

Returns the lower bound of Wilson score confidence interval for a Bernoulli parameter. This ensures small numbers of ratings don't give overly high scores. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_proportion_confidence_interval for details.

gs_utils_error_add_unique_id ()

void
gs_utils_error_add_unique_id (GError **error,
