I don't see that as a big source of confusion, do you? (Though, it is
unfortunate I waited so long to get around to changing this, as
perhaps the pango APIs would have adopted a similar convention.)

Yes, that was quite intentional.

Where would we be documenting inconsistency? In pango vs. cairo? I see
the pango APIs as quite distinct from cairo_show_text. Would you
expect users to mix these calls?
