You'll need to update docs/reference/*-sections.txt to include the new API. In
future I'd like this to be part of the same commit that introduces it
(otherwise make check will fail); please make check with gtk-doc enabled.

OK, but only because you already implemented it :-)

I consider Contacts to be a mandatory feature in CMs, and new telepathy-glib
features shouldn't go to any particular effort to work with pre-Contacts CMs.
telepathy-qt4 already doesn't support any extra features, like the alias, on
Tp::Contact objects from an old CM.
