Simo,

I really think this is overkill.  The function should, given the
circumstances described, be static.  If it's not in a header, then
nobody is using it (if they are, they are broken and deserve to keep
both pieces). 

Are you also saying that if a function was declared in ldb_private.h,
that it also can't be removed?

Similarly, the ABI generator doesn't know that we reserve the right to
change ldb_modules.h defined functions in a minor version, because we
put an exact version check into ldb module loading.
