I'd be happy to put wrappers to those functions in skimage, as long as
we do a thorough review of the API of each.  That turns out to be one
of skimage's strongest benefits, and we shouldn't rely on ndimage to
have considered it very carefully.  I think it would help if we had
some practical use cases of each of these, to guide us in the right
direction.

But yes, I can see how this would confuse beginners...
