Things are not identical enough that this can be done very mechanically unfortunately. Mathias:

Do you have some tools supporting you during this massive refactoring? Dude, 531 calls left - guess I'd feel quite discouraged to do this by hand. Crazy idea: Maybe having a scripting doing the trivial refactoring scripts could help GIO adoption in the future? Alex, rock on! Do you have some tools supporting you during this massive refactoring? Dude, 531 calls left – guess I’d feel quite discouraged to do this by hand.

After 7 years working on a codebase I'm not supposed to be able to claim basic facts about the code like whether it has code in the header files or not? Of course the difference is negligible, since it is zero. If you don't believe me, look for yourself. joeri:

The difference will probably be negligible, but you can not simply claim that, you should measure it. If there are no function calls in header files they shouldn’t be included in the nautilus search.
