Review Comment:
   I don't think there was a formal design doc, just a decision that there was 
no need for a separate driver vs user API (just a different way of formulating 
the same viewpoint). Very early drafts did have a distinction, but I quickly 
realized I would just be copy pasting each function prototype.
