One shouldn't
a) tamper with internals
b) expect the tampering to remain working in future versions
Mike took some code that was _not_ made a public interface because it
was not able to work according to the expectations of a public interface
(namely that using it in one user-level file will not affect other,
independent files), copied it and made a public interface from it.
Now of course this does not work reliably in a multi-file scenario, and
since it does not work reliably, whenever there _will_ be a public
interface for that kind of thing, it will _necessarily_ have different
interfaces.
So the approach was broken, and it was _guaranteed_ to stop working the
moment the underlying implementation was changed to something less
broken.
