expose inner API (used protected instead of private) #468

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be useful if some of the methods / inner classes / nested classes are 
declared as protected rather than private.

For example, I want to extend Splitter to be able to limit the number of 
splits, but I can't do this because Splitter only has private constructors, and 
the inner interface Strategy is declared as private.

These things are private because they are implementation details that we are 
not willing to commit to freezing.  Turning something like Splitter into a 
safely user-extendable class would be a bigger project than it may seem.

We are actually working on adding the limit feature to Splitter.
