Spawning entities into a map from a plugin is not supported. - Alfred

I was hoping I could use this from a server plug-in to make map entities in their proper classes from entity strings. The API's in class IVEngineServer only know about raw edicts, and whilst there are utility functions to get a CBaseEntity pointer from an edict pointer, that doesn't help us at all with what I asked. Surely the engine DLL's maploader must have a similar function to the discontinued one? Could we please have that one added to one of the Engine Interfaces next SDK Update? Or is there some other way to do this from a plug-in with existing Valve-supported API's ?
