Okay, so I tried my generation with parent instead of belongs_to.  I got
a bunch of errors along the lines of:

error: `cp.Body' is not a type

Even though the classes are defined in my chipmunk-custom.vala file.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the way parent works is by adding
functions to a type that was parsed by vala-gen-introspect.  Belongs_to
will add the function to types that are defined near the end of
generating the vapi file.

Anyways, thanks for your input!
