A frontend shouldn't use a backend function, and doesn't have to use
the backend gmaincontext.

Using the tag or the GSource * doesn't change much afaik. Not only
this is not a hot path, but glib gmain code does create the tag on
attach anyway. You may be marginally faster on remove/detach by
avoiding one lookup.

(btw, I think both tag and GSource* are as old)
