Long time since I wasn't around,

I just updated my HudMenu plugin to work with ML2.5 and noticed that I could'nt get acces to the methods of the standard Profiler plugin such as showStats. I believe that in ML1 when a chat command was registered the method of that chat command was made plublic. That allowed me to create buttons in my HudMenu without having to change the concerned plugin, by just modifying the configuration file
I don't see any inconvenience in having all methods registered as public when registering a chat command? Couldn't it be added to ML2.5 also?
