Please do not include it. It is basically non-functional at this time,
and is included only to preserve ABI compat with apps that link to
it but don't actually use it.

These interfaces shouldn't be included in the LSB ... the #ifdef's
reflect a reduced level of stability and indicate that the interfaces
are not for application use: they are most of interest to someone
writing an add-on script plugin, and such plugins aren't guaranteed
to work between 1.8 and 1.10 or similar, only within a single
1.8.x series.
