Definitely can be done with the current API, since charsets are always
access through function calls.  It affects FcPatternHash possibly.

That said, I like to suggest we make a slight API breakage, by removing
fcprivate.h, and making FcType and FcValue opaque.  I don't think I saw any
client, ever, use those things.  FcObjectType and FcConstant stuff are
also, I haven't seen used at all.
