It looks less weird and checking for NULL costs less.
G_OBJECT is a bit weird. GObject cast macros check for NULL and if the type
if the type specified assuming is a GObject pointer, however in this case
(beside the NULL check) is checking that is a GObject pointer assuming is
a GObject pointer so is a tautology. For the compiler is just a trick
to make it happy.
The g_return_if_fail is cheaper as the G_OBJECT macro will call a function
in any case while g_return_if_fail will call a function (g_warning) only
if "e" is NULL.
