Those were the three that I wanted to use and couldn't in any other way.
 Although they are all low-level, I'd say that they are also legitimate
to want outside of the kernel.

A quick look at l3names and source3.pdf suggests there are a lot of
other primitives which only have :D names (particularly the pdfTeX
ones).  However, I suspect most of these should only be available within
the kernel, so it's probably not an issue.  (For example, things like
\skipdef are only :D, as far as I can see.)
