In mozilla#2640 I speculated that maybe external bindings would want to roll their own metadata-extraction functions. I'm not sure if it'll work for that case, but it seems like a good thing in general. Making these functions `pub` is a step in that direction. I could see external bindings code try their specialized `extract_from_foo` function first, then fallback to calling `extract_from_bytes` to see if one of the standard cases works.
