#### Internal API changes

The `okhttp3.internal` package is not a published API and we change it frequently without warning.
Depending on code in this package is bad and will cause you problems with any upgrade! But the 4.x
will be particularly painful to naughty developers that import from this package! We changed a lot
to take advantage of sweet Kotlin features.
