Please note, the following rant is based on PHP, not Cake

Adding an underscore to a function name DOES NOT MAKE A FUNCTION
PRIVATE.  That is a commonly-used convention in PHP though, to make it
easier to figure out with functions SHOULD be private if your language
does not support making private methods of an object.

Ahem.

In PHP 5 you can declare a function private so that code that uses
your object cannot access that function directly.  I take it from
Nate's comments that it has been done already for Cake 1.2.

(There, that wasn't so bad...or angry)
