No, and we won't recommend using win.SetProperty("title", value)
directly either. ;-)  

The most likely change will be the creation of signal specific managed
delegate types with corresponding EventArgs subclasses. Something like:

public delegate void boolEventAnyHandler (object o, boolEventAnyArgs
args);

public class boolEventArgs : EventArgs {
	public bool RetVal {get{} set{}}
	public Gdk.EventAny Event {get{} set{}}
}

That should satisfy the compile-time type checking purists while
remaining true to the C# event paradigm. :)
