Agreed, let's drop it.

Actually wouldn't it be easier to have it as a method on the *factory* instead?
The factory acts as the de-facto place where all the features we care about are
stored so that could make things easier.

Something like:

void tp_simple_client_factory_ensure_contact_by_id_async (TpSimpleClientFactory
*factory,
    TpConnection *connection,
    const gchar *id,
    GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
    gpointer user_data);
