While we're on a rant about API docs...

After years of using gtk+, the thing I find most annoying
about the API docs is the generic delagate functions.

When I write:
    node = g_list_find_custom (list_of_addresses, "joe",
                               find_address_by_name);

I invariably have to ask myself what argument comes first in:

static gint
find_address_by_name (AddressStruct *address, const gchar *name)

/me ponders:
Maybe that could be fixed by aliasing function typedefs, i.e.

typedef GListFindFunc  GCompareFunc

And have a more specific documentation for "GListFindFunc" in
the source.

Hmmm, is there a way to do this without making the compiler complain ?
maybe by using #define instead of typedef ?

Cheers,
