Same rules apply.

Rinternals.h is used by R internally, as the name suggests. Only a
small fraction of the things declared there are part of the API.

Would it be better to separate out the things that are in the API into
a separate header? Probably. Would doing this be a good use of our
limited time resources? Probably not. Would doing this prevent people
from using things they shouldn't? Not likely.

Best,
