Heh. Alright. APIs are hard.

I guess this ought to be consistent with XCB, which was kind of
following Xlib conventions of "camel caps" (XCBFooBarBaz).

As for word order... uh... well, I dunno, but every public function in
the XCBImage library should have a name starting with XCBImage, and I
guess XCBImagePutImage would be kind of silly, so I guess it should be
XCBImagePut. (And maybe XCBImageSHMPut?)

Sounds fun.

Have you had a chance to look over my changes to XCBImage? I think if
you look at get_pixel_generic and put_pixel_generic you'll know about as
much as I do about how XYPixmap image formats work.
