I think this is a very wise decision.
First, the user should decide - i'm not about to throw it out, but there should be a preprocessor definition for it. Second, it's not as easy as i thought because the whole attribute mechanism depends on $-aware saving and reloading. canvas_realizedollar is needed for that, like in the iem-guis. It's one of the examples where internals are obviously differently treated from externals. It seems a solution would be that all externals are put into pd itself, so there's no need for an API.
:) I think the best solution is to talk about what is used and try to make it into a stable API. This will be hard though, especially a function like canvas_realizedollor sounds too much like a hack to be a serious candidate for a stable API .. back to escaping.
