The main reason that they are not wrapped is that they take GClosure
parameters, which suggests that they are some funky thing only needed for
GTK+ internals or only needed rarely.

Hopefully the same effect can be achieved with other parts of the API.
Does that seem to be the case?

For instance, by specifying the accelerator and callback slot when
creating the Gtk::Action. I don't understand why anybody would want a
separate callback for an accelerator, instead of one callback for both the
accelerator and normal activation.
