Comment:

 Had a quick poke, and the only sane ways I can see to get this wrapped is
 to either just make it public in the C++ API, or to create a
 `PostingSource` subclass which is wrapped for the bindings instead of the
 actual `PostingSource` class and provides a public method.

 I don't see any code generated (as comment:1 claims) - I guess SWIG used
 to generate code for this case which wasn't usable, and has since been
 fixed not to generate it.

 I don't see a big downside to just making this public in C++.  Not sure if
 it should be hidden from the doxygen documentation, or noted as probably
 only useful from subclasses, or what.

 Marking for 1.3.5.
