Would it be OK to override NSView's _wantsKeyDownForEvent?

Hello,
Overriding _wantsKeyDownForEvent to return YES would give us key down events for Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Esc (otherwise the only way to receive them is to override performKeyEquivalent). This, in turn, would allow me to simplify our code a bit.
However, I'm worried whether overriding  _wantsKeyDownForEvent would be considered as Private APIs usage, which we obviously want to avoid.

Thanks,
Leonid.
