lower_case_cprefix (I assume is what you meant) appears to only be
used for the direct struct methods like destroy and copy. the
array_free method for freeing the array of structs, is only
constructed directly from the cname. The relevant code,
append_struct_array_free, appears to be around
valaccodearraymodule.vala:205.

So the 'normal' typedef for passing around functions, is using a
function pointer, like:
typedef int (*get_integer)(int param);
But sometimes headers just declare the function, rather than the pointer:
typedef int (get_integer)(int param);
This doesn't map into the delegate definition in vala however, so I
need to set the cname for the delegate as the pointer to the function
definition, i.e. cname="get_integer *".
