Thanks for describing a concrete use case. I've uploaded a simple patch to mark
the class \@Public and make getUsers/Groups public, too.
> Promoting AccessControlList to be public

> The motivation of promoting AccessControlList to be a public API is to
> facilitate the users to programmatically parse or construct an ACL string. A
> typical use case may be the timeline domain, where we have the client lib to
> accept strings complied with ACL string format to define the authorized
> readers/writers. It will be more convenient and less buggy if users can
> compose this string with AccessControlList.
