It's been in dbus-glib since June, right after the release of 0.76:

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=dbus/dbus-glib.git;a=blobdiff;h=ee760113af2d89ac526ac247f25552f90239972f;hp=3744d8439b461957040df4dd1ba555906bbedc54;hb=d1b80d803a0268bd4b3dd5b9a9522230461f2947;f=dbus/dbus-gobject.c

maybe that means time for another dbus-glib release Colin?
