Gtypes are a bit longer to type, and look ugly against sane C code.
The ones that are shorter to type, namely guint/guchar/gulong, are
convenient, but also look ugly against regular C code.  That's why I
don't like them.

What is the rationale for having gtypes at all?  Why can't we just use
the standard types?
