Another possibility is to use the visibility attributes such as those
provided in GCC. Maybe the version1 declarion of a function could add
the appropriate magic to set the visiblity to public and alter PGXS to
set the default visibility to hidden. Voila, modules whose only
exported symbols are those declared with a version-1 declaration.

Perhaps a little too much magic :)

Have a nice day,
