There is literally no benefit to making this change—all of the call sites exist in the SMS silo and won't be exposed beyond the SMS/MMS app scope. This implies that only maintainers of the application will ever interact with code that directly accesses API and I strongly doubt that any developer wants more API surface, with longer names, that almost do the same things. As the assigned maintainer of this code for the foreseeable future, I don't want two methods that do nearly the same thing.
