No idea (I don't know anything about the relevant code).

No idea.  Presumably those functions were not deemed relevant for code 
outside svxcore.

Not really.  The first approach is definitely easier to implement, while 
the second one could be considered cleaner, as it leaves the set of 
exported symbols untouched.
