I agree, thought from a different stance, I think. The issue is whether 
we should 'automatically' expose everything is a wrapped library, even 
if it duplicates existing functions. I think not. But in this case, at 
least one of the two functions is sufficiently different, and the newest 
doc patches clarify the situation.
