      void onEditingStarted(@Nonnull CellEditable editable, @Nonnull Str path)
      This signal gets emitted when a cell starts to be edited.
      The intended use of this signal is to do special setup
      on @editable, e.g. adding a `GtkEntryCompletion` or setting
      up additional columns in a `GtkComboBox`.

      See gtk_cell_editable_start_editing() for information on the lifecycle of
      the @editable and a way to do setup that doesn’t depend on the @renderer.

      Note that GTK doesn't guarantee that cell renderers will
      continue to use the same kind of widget for editing in future
      releases, therefore you should check the type of @editable
      before doing any specific setup, as in the following example:
      <!-- language="C" -->
       static void
       text_editing_started (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                             GtkCellEditable *editable,
                             const char      *path,
                             gpointer         data)
       {
         if (GTK_IS_ENTRY (editable))
           {
             GtkEntry *entry = GTK_ENTRY (editable);
             
             // ... create a GtkEntryCompletion
             
             gtk_entry_set_completion (entry, completion);
           }
       }
       
      Parameters:
      editable - the `GtkCellEditable`
      path - the path identifying the edited cell
