[cdt-dev] API use of some classes (e.g. MapEntrySourceContainer, CSourceLookupDirector)

A number of places in CDT have API methods receiving or returning non-API types.

e.g.
org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.CDebugCorePlugin.getCommonSourceLookupDirector() returns non-API org.eclipse.cdt.debug.internal.core.sourcelookup.CSourceLookupDirector

org.eclipse.cdt.debug.core.sourcelookup.MappingSourceContainer.addMapEntry(MapEntrySourceContainer) receives non-API org.eclipse.cdt.debug.internal.core.sourcelookup.MapEntrySourceContainer

As a consumer of these APIs, what is the intention of such APIs? Obviously these Internals have not changed in a long time and it is hard to impossible to use the public APIs without also using internal APIs. 

It it helps, what I am trying to do is add an additional common source lookup container automatically. My customer's product ships with pre-built code that was pre-built in  /build/engineering/foo/bar.c and I want to map that to where foo/bar.c is on the user's machine. I am planning to do this by adding a path mapping (MappingSourceContainer) to the common source lookup director's container. 

Thanks for your input,
Jonah
