Thanks!

Then you've included the doc and test changes <wink>.

Not so:  you're making a bad situation worse.  If an extern name doesn't
begin with "_", it's part of Python's public C API, and *should* be
documented and tested.  I don't think anyone will let that hold up your
patch, although everyone probably should.
