Please don't. "Consenting adults" and all that. There's little things 
more frustrating that having a working type that does exactly what you 
want, except that some B&D coder has made it un-instantiable.

Leave it undocumented and/or a single underscore name for the time 
being, with an aim to make it public in 3.4 if it is useful and there 
are no major objections.
