For 5.x yes. All _al-prefixed symbols are private.
For 4.x, there are a number of _symbols which are part of the public API
(documented). There are also a number of _symbols which are technically
private but probably somewhat commonly used by users anyway.
The good old days ;-)
We wouldn't add any more public symbols beginning with underscore.
Anyway, 4.4 is on life support. The API is essentially frozen forever.
