One problem with is is that it causes problems with language bindings.
There's already a g_object_set() that GtkCellView will implement.  This
will make the ::set() function ambiguous for developers.  For example,
consider python:

cell_view = gtk.CellView ()
cell_view.set(...)

Does this refer to g_object_set() or gtk_cell_view_set()?  Both uses
seem legitimate:

  cell_view.set ("visible", True)
  cell_view.set (renderer, text=COLUMN_ONE)
