See the issue for details. I do not want to add this method, as it would
break bw compatibility in 2.9 if inserted there (but if it is in 3.0 it
should also be available in 2.9). Otheriwse it breaks 3.0 which is also bad.
At this point, I can say, if you have removed all deprecations from your
code in 2.9, you can drop in the 3.0 JAR. Adding such a method is a hard
break, because you cannot read compressed fields easily.
Well, we should then have added it to 2.9.0 already. Normally we don't
introduce new APIs in bugfix releases.
This could be a candidate for the backwards-compat break section: If you
have compressed fields you need to change your code, otherwise drop-in
will work.
