I'd say you're almost there -- just create a function that takes your
opaque type instead of attempting to coerce it to the existing type

cairo_image_surface_create_for_wacky_format (wacky_format, width,
height)

or am I just missing something?

also, I'd suggest (and perhaps be wrong) that a static structure could
be used for this wacky format data, and if we need something different
in the future, a new type and creation function could be added.
Future-proofing an API fails at least as often as it succeeds.
