I shy away from using things that are not in the public API. While what
you say is true, it has a greater potential to lead to code that is hard
to understand and maintain, especially if someone else is doing the
understanding and maintaining. I'm a purist when it comes to coding
style and I'll always try to fit into the public API, no matter the
language being used. Going beyond the API is an absolute last resort.
