It's just a convenience function - is it convenient from C++? It's
only convenient because it takes a varargs list, would you want to
wrap that? i.e. in C++ it would be like:
  
 buffer.create_tag ("weight", PANGO_WEIGHT_BOLD, 
                    "justification", GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT, 
                    /* is a cast required since we are untypesafe? */
                    (void*)0);

In C++ I'd imagine something more like:

 TextTag tag (buffer);
 tag.set_weight (Pango::WEIGHT_BOLD);
 tag.set_justification (JUSTIFY_LEFT);

I'm happy to add the varargs list if you want. Put a bug in bugzilla
so I don't forget, and stick it on 2.0 API freeze milestone.
