It's important to note that not all of these functions are necessarily limited to running under the BQL, but they would require additional auditing and may small thread-safety changes to move them into the I/O API. Often it's not worth doing that work since the APIs are only used with the BQL held at the moment, so they have been placed in the graph API (for now). Stefan
