There is no "natural interpretation". Such things need to be
specified. If Emacs Dev knows what the meaning/behavior is
then it should specify it. If it does not know then it should
not expect users to guess.

They are not internal. Programmers who use these functions
deserve to know what their parameters are. This is why we
have doc strings.
