Renaming API when facing non standard decisions

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

I have noticed that currently there are non standard decisions in
Gdk:Display:

Gdk::Display#supports_shapes
Gdk::Display#supports_input_shapes

should be named:

Gdk::Display#supports_shapes?
Gdk::Display#supports_input_shapes?

because they return true or false. Is it ok to just rename them, or do
we want to maintain compatibility with these incorrect names? There
are not even documented on hiki, and probably seldom used, so I think
we should maybe just rename them without compatibility…

Ah, right. Please just rename.

Thanks,
