Oh, and upon re-reading my message this morning, I can see that my
editing of the replies didn't make it at all clear here that Andreas
and I are both interested in changing some or all of the exported
names as we prepare for release.  The question is just "to what".  For
those who hadn't seen the history, my reply didn't make that clear.

The above was my own forshortening of the conversation in the previous
message, and the full message I was replying to can be seen on the
g-wrap-dev mailing list.  (Apologies to Andreas for any possible
misharacterization.)
