This sets a double standard. When FLAT_C_PLUGIN_HEADERS is false we
can use this so-called ill-defined function, but when
FLAT_C_PLUGIN_HEADERS is true we cannot. And, our plugins rely on the
ill-defined function, which after all allows us to do whatever we
think with the created PictureDescription.

indicating that these two functions have different behavior.
They do, as they have different arguments.
I'm at WWDC this week and only now had a chance to download the
SDK. It appears that this was broken by the person adding support
for the different numeric types with REALGet/Set prop value. This
will be fixed for the next release.
I hope I was not wasting my time then ;-)
