I've decided very early on to keep these kinds of deviations from the
introspection API to a minimum.  To Gtk3 I basically added only those
that ease porting from Gtk2.

In your module, it's your decision whether to include this, of course.
But consider that documentation generators like "perli11ndoc" don't know
of your overrides and hence will display a different API for the GIR
file you're wrapping.
