I'd rather not. There are already three `of` methods. Adding `info` would make make six, and adding `encapsulation` would be twelve. I cannot say which combination is more popular than another one.

Also,  the arguments of the current `of` methods are all about algorithm identifiers. Adding `info` and `encapsulation` to the argument list could make the API harder to use, as the method signature only includes the types of the parameters but not their meanings. While providing them through the `info` and `encapsulation` methods are very clean. They also have accompanying "getter" methods with the same names.
