All I can say right now is:  Wow, that's pretty darn cool.  Proper
editable date cell renderer, here I come.

I think those two are by far the most important ones.  Looking at the
code, it also seems easy enough to wrap new interfaces that they can be
implemented as soon as the need for them arises.

The PREP, CALL and FINISH macros seem universal enough to warrant a new
installed Glib header, don't they?

I like the way you make fun of the text cell renderer. :)
