I haven't done this for other public-but-unadvertised symbols as used in 
Xlib; I'm not sure it's strictly necessary.

It does look "nicer" to have all of the public APIs not represented with 
secret underscore prefixes, but I think we can take this too far.

Anyone else care if the "public" API includes a bunch of random underscore 
prefixed symbols which are essentially accidentally shared symbols?
