yes, but Cally is also not using internal API even though it could — and
ClutterActors are generally unaware of Cally's implementation; for
instance, CallyActor installs a bunch of signal handlers where it would
be perfectly possible to have internal functions, or even call ATK/Cally
methods directly from ClutterActor.
