If you leave all the existing code for the internal function in place
and simply change the function declaration and prologue, and
corresponding epilogue, you should find that diff doesn't mention the

The new public wrapper will of course be new.

I think there is no reason for this and it is not something I want to
preserve.  The distinction between internal and external is not a good
basis for which file something should be in.
