The concepts are the same.
The workings should have been, but things weren't that simple :-(

It's just the internals, yes.
Unfortunately, some of those internals used to be visible
(hence this thread!) but a cleaner helper API would have allowed
a backwardly compatible replacement.

Fair enough - I'm really not too bothered about the name used.
It's the abstract API I'm really interested in getting right.
