Thank you for the correction.

There are an endless number of C extensions, every C compiler does their own 
thing with this. We've implemented a number of popular ones. We don't want to 
waste time implementing ones that don't matter to our users.

I'd like to take a stab at the ones gtk needs. If you could please post them to 
bugzilla, tagging them with the ImportC keyword, we can have a look at the 
feasibility of implementing them.
