stg_args_bitmaps is useful to make sense of AP and PAP closures on the heap, i.e. for heap inspecting code. So it would be nice if code other than the RTS that uses it worked in ghci.

I think that if we want this to be exported then we shouldn't be declaring it RTS_PRIVATE. Can someone attach a testcase for testing, please?

We've decided to just do this, changing the decl to public as Ian suggests.
