So either this particular part of the API is not able to properly add
separator elements to the ui (which seems unlikely - `SEPARATOR is an
allowed value for type), or there is some "magic" string value I need
to use in this case?

BTW, are you referring to the GTK source code, or to your binding?
The "add_ui" binding has an ML_7() immediately followed by an ML_bc7()
- I know these are C macros "generating" your interface for you, but
this is more cryptic...make that condensed than usual. ;)
