[Rails-core] Why is AR::Base#sanitize_sql protected ?

[Francois Beausoleil]

Hi !

I have an instance where I'd like to use the automatic value quoting
that sanitize conditions provides.  Here's the SQL:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tournaments
  INNER JOIN entries ON entries.tournament_id = tournaments.id
  INNER JOIN plays ON plays.entry_id = entries.id
  WHERE #{self.class.sanitize_sql([conds.join(' AND '), values])}

Unfortunately, I get a NoMethodError because sanitize_sql is protected.

Is there a particular reason why this is protected ?

Thanks !
