This is intended. It was never, ever a public API on purpose, and it
was never supported or allowed.

Not as far as I know, since it was never public. You were cannibalizing an internal
API which was never supposed to be stable, and as such, there is nothing to
"re-introduce".

I believe you should be more or less able to accomplish the same thing by registering
custom AVIO reads callbacks, though.
