Yes, I was going to ask. Without that, it simply wasn'y worth my time to
try to guess what someone might think was illegal.

I see nothing wrong with it. Nor can I particularly think of any reason
why it would even be questionable. Prevention of name conflicts is one
of the things renaming is for.

There aren't any special rules related to specific procedure names that
would prohibit this. It is reasonably common to not make specific names
public at all. Some people might misunderstand that and think that would
prohibit use of the specific, but it doesn't. It just prohibits use of
the specific by that name; it has no affect on use by the generic name.
But anyway, that's not what you are doing. Its just an alternate way to
do something simillar.
