In addition to reorganizing the API, I suspect there are a handful of
out-of-tree hacks, er, users, that will are using the internal state
names, as well as the functions that should now only be internal.

As part of the subsequent cleanup series, it would it make sense to add
a '_' prefix to the internal names as well to catch unintentional use of
internal APIs?
