In general it is a good idea to check `perldoc perlapi`.  If the function
isn't listed in there, then you are not allowed to use them in an
extension.

And yet there's no problem with resolving 'Perl_seed' (which is explicitly
called in the core module Scalar::List::Utils) - despite the fact that
'Perl_seed' is mentioned in neither 'perldoc perlapi' nor 'embed.fnc'.

It is mentioned in embed.fnc -- but as "seed" rather than "Perl_seed". The entry actually says:

Ap      |U32    |seed

in which the "p" means that the function has a "Perl_" prefix :-)
(See notes at the top of the file.)
