you can always write your own plug-in that adds this kind of methods to your generated classes. this plugin can be quite generic as it has access to the FileDecriptor (hence all message's descriptors), which allows it to identify string fields, and use the (well known and documented) insertion points, to add you own methods, which in turn van be built on top of the public API (you don't necessarily have to access the member variable itself).
