Agreed. The way libgit2 does it is to have "src/tag.[ch]", which are
for internal use, and then "src/include/tag.h" which is the published
version that others can use to write code against the tag library.
src/tag.h always includes src/include/tag.h, so no code needs to be
duplicated, but internal parts of the library can still use lower-
level stuff if it wants to. It's a good compromise when creating a
library from application code and there were no opaque types from
the start.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
