 personally conveyed to me a number of times. @DrewAPicture can you chime
 in on this? Even if we were sticking with the underscore convention, it's
 not obvious to me why the cache-clearing function would qualify as
 something "private" or "to-be-deprecated" - we'll always need to clear the
 cache.

 I don't know that we're specifically "moving away from" the convention –
 maybe more-so in areas where the underscore is kind of moot, e.g. private
 methods or properties.

 I'd be in favor of underscore-prefixing this new helper mostly for
 consistency. For instance, we've introduced new cache priming helpers with
 the underscore prefix as recently as 4.4 (`_prime_comment_caches()`) and
 4.6 (`_prime_network_caches()`).

 Does that answer your question(s)?
