Of course.
Though on re-considering: if it is added as a purely internal API that we can 
change at any
time and we do not need to think on backwards compatibility (and a comment on 
the file
that we might want to have and review use-cases before making it public) I 
would have
no objections.
I realized only being locked-in compatibility-wise had me worried at this point 
actually.
