Yeah, I'll try to get some documentation in for that and some better tests. It's something I put in because it made testing easier, but never decided if it was a good/stable API. With the BINDINGS clause in SPARQL 1.1, though, it's likely that they should do the same thing and can use the same code path, so probably a good time to stabilize it.
