I'll break your stuff by Monday, then.  ;-)

No problem!

I wonder if we should find or invent some standard way of specifying
what's an "internal" vs. "external" API.  public/protected/private
doesn't quite cut it, since we have lots of methods (like those
constraints functions) that need to be called from other libMesh
components but aren't designed for user access.  I'm not sure I'd want
to *prohibit* application code from calling such functions (although
that one Ulrich Drepper paper suggests minor speed improvements from
hiding symbols) but it might be nice to easily indicate which APIs we
wrote with users in mind vs which we consider risky to call from app
code.
