Yes, this would probably be possible.

The easiest way to do so would be to modify pygobject_getattro and
pygobject_setattr to check for paramspecs.

By making this a fallback in pygobject_getattro, it shouldn't add much (if
any) of a hit to attribute lookups.  I don't know about the setattr one
though.
