There are precedents for adding some functionality to the C API but  
not documenting it to ensure "non advanced users" don't get hurt --  
that's how we added the ability to raise exceptions in different  
threads, in particular. Not sure if this is the best solution here,  
but I'm just pointing out that it's definitely not "unthinkable",  
procedurally speaking.
