No, we can't do that because such a symbol could be mistaken for
public API (although on platforms which support it, we also use a
linker script to avoid exporting symbols which are not in the public
API).

We could probably do something with _guestfs_... which AIUI is
permitted.

Unless this actually affects a real C++ compiler, it's pretty low on
my list.

Rich.
