I don't understand, does that mean we do not need to export these?
Shouldn't the rust bindings just export these symbols are rust exports,
and the C exports are not needed?

We "only" want these symbols to go to the rust binding, not to any
module at all, which is what this patch series does, and is probably not
a good idea.

thanks,
