Well, it isn't.  And yet I'm strongly tempted to do the same
for strings that are duplicated every time I fetch them too.
I have probably still lots of memory leaks in apps from the
time before I found this out.  I'd like some
G_TYPE_STRING_DONT_DUPLICATE_IT_LIKE_MAD and
G_TYPE_OBJECT_DONT_REFERENCE_IT_LIKE_MAD column types.

And I wonder how many people is still unaware of it and
happily leak memory...
