    If you ever decide to do this, you can make it much easier on yourself
    by doing a "bait and switch": create a new function that wraps the
    currently exported one and exposes a clean, sane interface. Then,
    convert the users to call this new function. When they're all converted,
    un-export the old one, then take it out back and do away with it. This
    allows a step-by-step conversion without having to coordinate a big
    "flag day" cutover..
