idea is also disabled.
Note that all of them have been removed since 0.9.6b-3 (in 2001)
because of patent problems. You really can't say that we
modified the library's exported functions, since it never had
them in the first place. They only existed in non-us, in a
library with different soname.
But maybe we should document this somewhere.
