> Is there any benefit in making them public API functions?

Originally, I was going to suggest them as internal functions, but the variety 
of use cases in the standard library suggested that third-party C extensions 
would benefit as well.  

Since this isn't functionality a user can create themselves, a public function 
is the only way to expose this service.
