To me it's not part of the API. It's a mechanism to make thread specific
some of the global variables which influence the processing. This is an
error at two level to use them:
- one should not use the global variables, usually there is equivalent
mechanism to influence parsing in the newer APIs
- second this strustucre is thread local storage, not something which
is a general purpose programming tool of the library, it must be made
public for the remapping to work, but it is not intended as a user
tool.
In a nutshell, really don't do this.
