Not at this time. As you probably know, the _internal_ API is exposed and
could be used, but it's not something that we are prepared to maintain as
an API. A true C++ KAPI would be a veneer above that so users wouldn't need
to know about kernel internals. But depending on your requirements, you may
just want to use it anyway....
