That doesn't mean it shouldn't be prefixed. The prefix is there to
ensure that our public symbols don't conflict with symbols defined by
users of the library. If it's non-static then it should be prefixed.
But it is not public symbol, and if its is not public,
then no one can guarantee a duplicate symbol linker error
will never happen, unless you say:
"You must not use anything prefixed with apr_ inside
your program, because we might already defined that
symbol locally", and that user complies with that
rule of thumb.
