muppet created a similar patch many moons ago, and I recently committed it
(without remembering this bug entry):
<http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib/commit/?id=2b1a35b9d>.  This old patch
called the is_a_type accessor simply is_a_type(), which is inconsistent, so I
just fixed that: <http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib/commit/?id=78696b6f8>.

As far as I can see, the only remaining substantial difference between your
patch and the committed version is this:

--- a/GType.xs
+++ b/GType.xs
@@ -2018,6 +2018,7 @@ BOOT:
     gperl_register_fundamental (G_TYPE_FLOAT, "Glib::Float");
     gperl_register_fundamental (G_TYPE_DOUBLE, "Glib::Double");
     gperl_register_fundamental (G_TYPE_BOOLEAN, "Glib::Boolean");
+    gperl_register_fundamental (G_TYPE_GTYPE, "Glib::GType");
     gperl_register_boxed (GPERL_TYPE_SV, "Glib::Scalar", NULL);

     /* i love nasty ugly hacks for backwards compat... Glib::UInt used

I'm not entirely sure what this achieves.  Does it allow me to have, say,
Glib::TreeView columns of type "Glib::GType"?  If so, do we want to allow that?
 (We used to completely hide the existence of GType from the Perl programmer.) 
What else does this do?
