It is not good design or practice to expose EVERY property and method as there are many times that by exposing certain pieces can break the framework altogether.  However, I do agree that there are some methods and properties that are not currently exposed that could be beneficial for this purpose.  More than likely, unless a specific property or method is requested and we can verify that it will not cause an issue, we will not make a blanket change.  We already have plans to incorporate more of this functionailty in the next major release of SF. 

Hi,

I would like to request to change all of methods/properties to public (at least protected) so that we can reuse them while enhancing our base class inherited from SF class.



Thank you
