Just on this point - I think this would be a very bad idea. It's
already a little confusing as to when you should free return
values in Gtk+; adding a special case where sometimes you free
and sometimes you don't is just asking for trouble. As it happens
I don't see that it buys you anything, but even if it did I fear
it would set a bad precedent.
