Documenting it in the API docs or on the GOA wiki would have probably 
been useful.

The wiki currently says:

Which reads to me as being there to be used by "GNOME applications", of 
which I would count Geary, because that the desktop environment it is 
targeted at. If 3rd party developers were not supposed to use it then 
that should have been spelled out loud and clear everywhere app 
developers would see it. Including, as Michael Terry suggested, as a 
compiler error.
