In this case, I was not ready to commit to an API for `pw_scan', so when it needed to be moved to libc, I hid it. I meant to revisit the issue one day, but so it goes. Do not rename it unless you intend for it to be a public API that will be maintained across releases. And don't forget to document it in that case.
