The question is, does code outside our source tree use it, and, in the
general case we can't know the answer to that question.

This may be a special case: no headers define that (or the structure
it's made of), so anybody using it would have to do an awful lot of
the wrong thing to get to it.  In this case it _might_ be OK to just
make it static, but it sets a very, very, very bad precedent.
