This is an answer to your question, it proof that this functionality can 
be accessed via public API. And it is strange that overloaded methods, 
which have the same spec, have different behaviour. before the fix all 
subclasses had the same implementation(useful code or noop). Actually 
the method with orientation flag was added in jdk6 as an extension of 
the first method.
