OK. It's too bad because then I have to pass the class name in three formats
for macros that do things related to classes. Normal:

   GtkObject

Function prefix style:

   gtk_object

And type macro:

   GTK_TYPE_OBJECT

If the get_type functions always existed, then I wouldn't need the third
format at all. But now I understand that this is not the gobject way.
