Yes, I think we are agreed. See also my earlier reply to Yeb Havinga, where I 
expressed some second thoughts about including a full function list. I think 
that the «public» functions included in the docs are sufficient for most 
purposes. There aren't an awful lot of them; I compiled a list by hand in a 
couple of hours.
