We already turn getters and setters into properties wherever they follow
the following forms:

GtkFoo gtk_bar_get_foo (GtkBar);
void   gtk_bar_set_foo (GtkBar, GtkFoo);

We even suppress the GObject properies in preference for the
getter/setter if it is available.

In this case, it would probably be best to just hide the Arrow.Set
method. It would be a PITA to try to use that method to set two property
values.  

I committed a metadata change to hide the Set method.
