Added some code on top of the changes on top of the one PR started here by @opitz, with changes suggested by @aspark21 . The approach is here is to prevent branching due to a core file move.. where the API of the functions themselves do not change, only their namespace.
Costs of this approach, + one level of abstraction, IDEs don't have great support for this and won't pick up class methods/defs as easily
Benefits: We don't have to branch yet, I suspect support for pre 4.2 to still be round for some time.
