Make a little structure containing the info for both callbacks, and attach that as the user data.  The callback marshaller would look up the right slot, and the destroy notifier would invalidate and destroy both callbacks.

Hi, I was talking about bindings that call the C side by using the
info that can be gotten from introspection repositories at runtime.
What you suggest could be done at build time, for this specific case,
but the point of introspection is precisely to avoid having to write
those.

An alternative is to add a more bindable-friendly function that
accepts GClosures.
