The API reference is generated via gtk-doc, which queries the type for
signals and properties using the GType API; Cairo provides GType
wrappers for property and signal marshalling, and those have CamelCase
names to better fit in. This means that a C `cairo_t` type is a
`CairoContext` GType, and a `cairo_surface_t` C type is a
`CairoSurface` GType.

It should be possible to override the type inside gtk-doc, but nobody
looked into it as of yet.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
