That's correct. In fact, it's not introspectable at all, so you cannot
use it in GI programs. The API break is not about making this
available, but making gtk_menu_popup_for_device() _not_ available any
more, as the "rename to:" really renames it, instead of making it
available in addition under the new name.

No, it's not. If you export two functions a(int, char*) and b(char*),
and then you rename "a" to "b", then the C documentation for b will
still say (char*), but your function actually takes (int, char*).

Thanks! Please feel free to come by in #introspection on Freenode to
discuss this.
