this is interesting.  if i understand it correctly, the python browser
is doing the exact opposite.  for example, i get from the browser:
pdb['gimp-image-add-layer'](image, layer, position) and i have to change
it to: pdb.gimp_image_add_layer(image, layer, position)

it never seemed to be a big problem to me though.
