I copied this pattern from GTK+ code.

./gtk/gtkintl.h has:
        #define I_(string) g_intern_static_string (string)

I guess it's probably intended as a small optimization.  But,
looking at g_signal_new, I don't think it's really good for
anything.

I'll remove these from the whole patch series.
