The coding convention in Vala is to not use uppercase letters for method
names. If you follow that, you'll always have lowercase function names
in the generated C code. I don't know whether we should always default
to lowercase C names; I don't really care as I won't use uppercase
letters in method names but I can add the lowercase transformation if
people think that it's useful.
