This looked wrong to me, until I had read the remainder of the
patch and noticed that the 'internal' header #included the
'public' interface header.

Unfortunately, this still feels wrong to me! I would rather that
the internal header _not_ include the public header (so, include
them _both_ when necessary). Just my opinion, which you can simply
ignore. :-D
