If anything changes a datamodel...

  - through gda_data_model_*(), it doesn't have to (and shouldn't)
    emit "row-inserted" signals, set command text/row number/id,
    etc.,.  That's the provider's job.

  - not through gda_data_model*(), that 'anything' is a provider.

These functions are still public to end users, I just hope they are in
a separate header files (and doc sections) so end users who don't use
them (most of them) don't have to care about these functions.
