If it's not part of the public API, then I don't think it's appropriate
for the package to include it. We'd effectively be forking the MySQL
ABI, breaking compatibility with the rest of the ecosystem and generally
causing future pain and confusion.

This confusion is what I believe upstream are busy trying to fix by
better clearly defining the available API to avoid future compatibility
problems. It seems like you've fallen on the wrong side of this.

Can you work with upstream to get the functionality you need included as
part of the public API?
