The answer is as usual: for low-level, performance-critical parts of KDElibs 
and other libs, eg.:

- kdecore
- KMail storage
- kdebase (kioslaves)
- ...

examples:
http://lxr.kde.org/ident?i=KDE_open
http://lxr.kde.org/ident?i=KDE_stat

Summing up, no single usage of these functions whapped by macros expose them 
in the public APIs.
