Yes, these really shouldn't be there. We're working on refactoring some
of the internal libraries, including the string types and classes, so
these will be removed eventually.

There is some information about this in the Internals documentation at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/index.html
It may be a little bit out of date. (It hasn't been updated to reflect
some of the reorganization in 5.1, at least.)
If you have more questions about the internals, don't hesitate to ask on
internals@stripped.
