 > What does of means that it is private. This class is a brilliant asset a
 developer can use since you want the same look in your plugin as WordPress
 itself.

 The private status in this case means exactly what Private access means in
 applications "This should only be used by the core application at this
 point in time". It'll be rehashed elsewhere, but put basically: Don't use
 this while it's Private and expect core to retain compatibility in future
 releases, It'll be changed and will most likely break whatever you're
 currently doing with it in a million piece.

 It's going to be a useful functionality to Plugin developers, We're just
 not quite at the point where we can offer it up to developers.
