But this can be done in another issue/PR not here.

Indeed we could. Note that the same issue apply to all unix platforms. It's sort of a hack -- the core problem is that we cannot hide non-exported symbols in static libraries. Solving that is the long-term goal, but it is tricky on several platforms.

It could make sense to try to unify the two versions of BitmapToYXBandedRectangles as well; they are similar but not identical (but I can't really tell why).
