There is a fair amount of what I'd call "kruft" and inconsistencies in the function names of 2.0. Assuming 2.0 is a clean up rev, it could be an opportunity to address these. For example, most of the "set*" functions are "set_" but setcolor, setTextColor, setPixel, setcell exist, which differ in "_" and case.
Another example is Tooltip::enabled, enable, and disable. I'd like to see these collapsed into one function: enabled([b]). The various names may have made sense in a C world but not in overloaded C++ [aside: I'm coming at this as someone who is writing a language binding, and would rather write/understand 1 function instead of 3).

Addition to last comment: If it is not reasonable to collapse stuff like enabled/enable/disable, it would be nice to at least pick one and overload it so the others can be ignored.
