Do you really want to mark this as experimental?  I know it will trigger the symbol checker with a warning if you don't, but this function already existed previously and was accepted as part of the ABI.  Given that the prototype hasn't changed, I think you just need to accept it as a non-experimental function


I'll remove the experimental tag and move it into the 19_05 section (without suggesting it should go into 19.05). That maneuver seems not to trigger any build warnings/errors.


OK, so that wasn't true. It does trigger a build error, courtesy of buildtools/check-experimental-syms.sh.

I can't see any obvious way around it. Ideas, anyone?
