Hello, Is the `.External2()` function part of the public API, and can it be used in R packages submitted to CRAN? I would like to start using it in a package, and there *are* packages on CRAN which use it. But its man page [1] calls it “internal”, R-exts doesn’t mention it at all (unlike `.C()`, `.Call()` and `.External()`), and it doesn’t have any actual documentation. In the context of the recent tightening of the C API CRAN rules, this makes me concerned that `.External2()` might be next on the chopping block.
