I understand your use case, but when rolling new public API stuff has
to make sense in general.

I believe what Jody suggested is a good general solution that also
addresses the issues that Justin saw with dynamic languages,
requires just a bit more effort in that you'll probably have to turn
your inner classes into package private ones
