The whole EEL_BOILERPLATE thing is deprecated, because new code should
use the boilerplate code in glib (G_DEFINE_TYPE). However, if you're
just changing something that uses EEL_BOILERPLATE, its fine to use
EEL_CALL_PARENT_WITH_RETURN_VALUE.

Using G_DEFINE_TYPE you just reference type_name_parent_class.

EEL_INVOKE_METHOD_IF and EEL_CALL_METHOD look equivalent, although
EEL_CALL_METHOD has some G_STMT_START/END protection.
