We did that all the time anyway; we just had infrastructure anticipating
for the times where that wouldn't be the case. Turned out to be
unnecessary. Remove that was one of the things that Vreixo's recent
memory management branch did, so it's all cleaned up as of 4.0.9 (though
it sounds like there's an errant comment here or there. Hm. Have to hunt
that down).

[Naked structs and GBoxeds were treated as the same thing by the pygtk
bindings, and that led to some confusion over the years as it became
clear that they weren't, quite]

People in #gnome-hackers and #gtk+ are usually kind enough to help with
this sort of thing, but it's always nice to get further confirmation we
were right about that. Good stuff.
