I do have a patch+Perl script which wraps all operation(op, rs) calls, but it doesn't know which ops are "internal".
I don't think it's something that can be done automatically. Careful code review and testing would be required.
I want it for the SlapReply cleanup (ITS#6758). The only way to make a hunt for dirty SlapReplies feasible. I suggested it when I was doing the cleanup, but IIRC nobody replied - except there were related complaints that my cleanup was too invasive.

Anyway, here's me trying agin again:-)
Sort of recall it. Well, it looks pretty invasive, indeed. The two things should be kept separate. No preference about the order in which the two changes should be applied. I'm in no hurry to work at internal ops (mostly because I have scarce time for it and I'm worried about possible unexpected showstoppers).
Maybe, if all calls for internal operations are wrapped by a macro, then ITS#6758 SlapReply cleanup could be performed just from within that macro; calls that are not judged internal would need to be explicitly wrapped, though.
No, I meant the opposite: The macroization is done. It could mostly be scripted and makes no semantic change unless #ifdef(SlapReply debug), which is what the macros were for.
Figuring out which ops to tag as internal does, as you say, require review and testing. And one extra arg to the macros.
