The current implementation allows both 0 and -1 to terminate the list. I
don't have a strong opinion which one should be preferred but it would
be nice if both could be accepted since that would make it easier for us
to deprecate the gimp variant at some point.

Behdad is probably right that this code should be in Pango. But it would
still be convenient if GTK+ could wrap the call to
pango_attr_list_new_something() into gtk_label_set_attr_list() or
similar.
