Comment:

 I'm not sure that the proposal in comment:2 is reasonable; this would mean
 that calling `hs_init_ghc` would be insufficient to fully initialize the
 runtime environment. This in turn means that users who drive the RTS
 directly would need to duplicate the IO manager initialization logic. All
 of this for questionable benefit.

 I'm going to close this as WONTFIX but do say if there is a different
 refactoring that you would like to see.
