Sorry I was little hasty here in my explanation. 
The metrics APIs are separate form the actual metrics.
You can consider  marking specific classes that implement metrics public or 
private - but if you mark them as public then you are asserting that the actual 
implementation classes for the specific metrics are public - ie the impl class 
API is public.
If your intension is to make specific sets of metrics (say for NN) public then 
you have to document that in your documentation - the annotation mechanism 
cannot help here unless we extend it.
