R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

Mainly I'm saying that I don't think a public API should have a name starting 
with an '_'.  Sets a bad precedent :)

Looking at the functionality more closely, though, it does make me nervous that 
we are recommending changing the global state of the module.  Sounds like a 
recipe for hard to find bugs.  So maybe it should be removed from the docs, and 
a better way found to expose that functionality.
