I am not against changing the function prototype. However, the
reasoning that the typedef can change is bogus. The type is equivalent
to the C type and has been always specified so:
Types which correspond exactly to standard C types, but are included
for completeness - gchar, gint, gshort, glong, gfloat, gdouble.
A typedef to something else would be a major API breakage.
