That makes sense, however the convention used by me here is
objecttype_function(). For example, PurpleAccount would have
purple_account_new(). Similarly, PurpleSHA1Hash has purple_sha1_hash_new().
It gives a clearer indication of the type that we are dealing with.
The namespace/heirarchy is indicated by the name of the object's type.

Subclasses are named as NamespaceDerivedBase, which is also the convention
followed by glib, and by pidgin in the gobjectification branch.
