If we had package private classes that you wanted to use externally,
this would be the case.
I recall more that we had C++ classes that weren't exposed directly to
Java that you wanted to use; I think I ended up exposing them via Java
wrappers.

Yay!

Ditto, keep the prefix.

I haven't looked at the code and don't expect any time to do so until
late next week at the earliest. Please do keep me in the loop, though.
