-Eases refactoring burden while we overhaul the Python framework.

-    The layers used to look like:
-        ...                # outside _adapter
-        fore.py + rear.py  # visible outside _adapter
-        _low

-        fore.py + rear.py  # visible outside _adapter

-        _c                 # new '_c'
-    We will later remove _low_intermediary after refactoring of fore.py and
-    rear.py according to the ticket system refactoring and get:
