Comment (by luke.moore@…):

 Whether it's categorized as a bug or a feature request doesn't matter so
 much to me -- I only care that the patch is applied.  I truly think it is
 a bug, though.  The original version of this code made these symbols
 private and the intention of the current code is to make them private.
 The only reason they are not private is because of misunderstandings about
 how extern "C" functions work inside unnamed namespaces.
