Makes me wonder ... should it be API? 
Dirk, was your intent to add API? 
(That others use? or just internal use?) 
If intent was API, is there another package it should
be in? 
(all asked, from a completely 
naive point of view, about that package -- just asking).

I do not know the history, but have heard some imply
it was due to 
laziness, more than design or mistake :) 
There might have been a reason for it though ... perhaps
some old timers 
remember the reason? 

In general, it seems a good idea, to me -- assuming
the tools make it easy?
