GSimpleActionGroup has some functions that just call the same functions in the base GActionMap. However, some have slightly different names:
https://developer.gnome.org/gio/unstable/GSimpleActionGroup.html#g-simple-action-group-insert

* g_simple_action_group_insert() just calls g_action_map_add_action().
* g_simple_action_group_remove() just calls g_action_map_remove_action().

In real OO languages such as C++, or just conceptually in C, this results in a class that has all 4 methods, all though 2 do the same thing as the others, confusing the API:

somegroup.insert()
somegroup.add_action()
somegroup.remove()
somegroup.remove_action().


The same goes for g_simple_action_group_lookup(), which just calls g_action_map_lookup_action().

Could we please deprecate these functions in GSimpleActionGroup?


I'd also like to deprecate g_simple_action_group_add_entries(). It's name is correct, but it does nothing but call g_action_map_add_action_entries() and we don't normally have convenience functions in glib or gtk+ just to avoid the need for a cast.
