While Marc has probably convinced most of us that the colon syntax would
be the correct way of doing things, I do think that this is a rather
academic "correct".

The important question is what the gtk2-perl-xs users expect.  I doubt
that the function <-> method distinction is relevant to them.  For all
they know and learned from Gtk and Gtk2, all calls to things in this
module use the arrow syntax.

So, in this case, I think consistency weighs way more than correctness.
