[Catalyst] Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication set_authenticated

Hi,



Is the set_authenticated method really private? I am puzzled because in
the documentation for Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication there is an
example using this method -



$user = $c->find_user({ id => $id });

$c->set_authenticated($user); # logs the user in and calls
persist_user



Yet, later on it is listed as an internal method, with the usual
caveats
-



INTERNAL METHODS



These methods are for Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication INTERNAL USE
only. Please do not use them in your own code, whether application or
credential / store modules. If you do, you will very likely get the
nasty shock of having to fix / rewrite your code when things change.
They are documented here only for reference.



$c->set_authenticated( $user, $realmname )



Well, I am using it anyway!



Thanks,

Bill.
