I think you're right, and I agree the goal should be making the main use
cases simple. My main concern is making the API artificially limited by
introducing a boolean, in this case, which seems unnecessary. I see no
problem with just using the C API if needed, but since people were
having second thoughts about whether exposing the C API as public API
made sense, I don't think we can surely know we will be able to rely on
it. Or was the decision to make the C API public been made?
