What i'm saying is that imo it's not by accident. I think they used that attribute to be able to pass the IOChannel struct where a GIOChannel pointer is needed. IOChannel is a value-type and its layout is sequential, hence there should be no padding or reordering in the fields. So passing an IOChannel by value should result in passing a copy of its fields, that is a copy of IOChannel::Handle, which should be exactly the same as passing the Handle explicitly.
