  I agree.
  But as I indicated with a previous post, there is one such utility method that is currently missing. There is no protected_class_method for making a class method protected.
   
  In addition, the current naming of the 2 existing utility methods (private_class_method and public_class_method) is very confusing.
  Please take a look at the post on this thread from Gavin who "interprets" my request and states more clearly the naming issue.
   
  So I do not request a lot of fresh new methods.
  I just request one new method and a renaming of 2 existing methods.
