What we need is a TIP to make these APIs private and rename them to TclSetNotifier, etc.

I can't imagine why they were exported to the public API in the first place.

A few more note on Tcl_SetServiceMode() would be nice.  
Maybe
it's me, but I just don't understand *Why* one would want to
discard (at least on windows) windows messages as they
arrive...  I should test it more deeply for my own
selfish understanding.

Oh $env(LC_DEITY), what a kludge.

Tcl_SetNotifier goes and patches the Stubs table.  Do we really want to export
that?  It's a special hack for the Plugin.  I'd say we'd better clean it up before we
expose it to ordinary users.

There's no reason for user code ever to call Tcl_ServiceModeHook. Any objections
to renaming it to TclServiceModeHook and moving it to tclInt.h?
