I would prefer not to expose the WC API directly.
I think that was a mistake, because it complicated the wc-ng effort
since it had to cater to consumers of these APIs.
We should make sure that the libsvn_client API provides sufficient
access to the WC layer without exposing implementation details.
If setting up a client context is too much overhead, then maybe
we should try to address that problem, instead of ignoring it
and making all the WC APIs public again.
