Yes, basically this part:
const gchar * g_function_def_get_symbol_name (GFunctionDef *function_def);

Every interface should have properly namespaced name (like
"gtk.Window.add_mnemonic"), but some will also have C symbol name that
doesn't necessarily correspond to this name.

Hmm, come to think of it, every interface could have separate
introspected name and C symbol name, which means the above function
should be promoted to more general 

const gchar * g_registered_interface_get_symbol_name (GRegisteredInterface *function_def);

Cheers,
Maciej
