With respect, that's exactly what syntactic sugar does.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntactic_sugar

In particular "... a construct in a language is called syntactic sugar
if it can be removed from the language without any effect on what the
language can do: functionality and expressive power will remain the
same."

Sweetness is always a matter of taste however, so thanks for your guidance
in this matter. "No auto-generated public APIs" seems like a reasonable
rule to follow.

  cheers,
