On the other hand, i think that GObject construction is quite handy in 
the way you can set multiple properties of the object at once. 
Especially in C, though, perhapse, not so much elsewhere.

This is one thing i have also thought about. GObjects are constructed in 
quite an unique way. Is it really a good idea to attempt to make GObject 
construction to look like, for example, Java construction. Or should 
Vala rather embrace the strangeness of GObject say to programmers that, 
"this is the way we do things in GObject land, just learn it".
