Each attribute-name->store-column-no binding sets a GTK property on
the cell renderer from a column in the store (which doesn't have to
correspond to a column in the view, BTW).

The valid names depend on the cell renderer. You can look the names up
in the GTK+ docs... or if you look at cell renderer properties in
MonoDoc, you will find that these properties have
GLib.PropertyAttribute applied, e.g.  CellRenderer.Sensitive has
[GLib.Property("sensitive")], so you could bind that property with the
"sensitive" name, etc.
