Okay, that makes good sense. If we put in the function names that
Rakudo needs to keep building now, how long do we wait until we take
them back out? After 2.11? After 3.0? Later?

I only ask because we already have a problem where we are
exporting--and supporting--far too many public symbols in libparrot,
and adding in a bunch of transitional duplicates should be a temporary
measure and not add to our long-term bloat.

Thanks Andy,
