This one was removed because it was 

1) incompatible with the GMP kernel
2) complicated and not too well documented
3) not used anywhere, and only catered for consistency with an alternative
   definition in a relatively minor case.
4) easy to emulate at a minor efficiency cost.

So I felt it did not belong in the C library and removed it instead of
rewriting it for the GMP kernel.

Both are static to the code modules that require them [respectively
anal.c and init.c] and no longer public. 

They never were documented. Why do you need them ? debugging ?
