No, it's not a public interface and is not callable under any circumstances. It's an internal implementation detail of the code and subject to change at any time.

You're not forced to do anything, but it's undocumented and will remain so. If you're asking from the perspective of design documentation, that's simply not something that exists, as it does not in 99% of open source projects.
