Since the baseline language for the GObject bindings is C we'll have to create
one function for each variant of the methods like this one, basically. Since
this does not seem to be very common I think it's perfectly fine if we just
hand-write that when it's needed (this kind of fix-up/glue when doing bindings
is relatively common in my experience).
