The other method, Gtk2::Style::get_property(), also clashes with Glib::Object. 
The question is whether this is acceptable in the same way as it is acceptable 
for Gtk2::TreeModel::get(), i.e. are people more likely to mean 
Gtk2::Style::get() rather than Glib::Object::get() when they call $style->get()?

Also, Emmanuel, I think it would make sense to let Gtk2::Style::get() and 
get_property() be the same method (i.e. one is the alias of the other), and to 
let that one method accept multiple arguments.  Just like Glib::Object::get() 
and get_property() (in Glib/GObject.xs line 1257).
