It happens often enough that a distributed class, especially a
data connector class, works almost right for our application.
When we have to add or change functionality it would be nice
to be able to subclass the original and just add our changes.

However, most of the methods in the data connectors are declared
private - forcing us to replicate the entire class.  Could shib,
in the future (1.4 or 2.x), declare methods protected instead
of private?
