Title: Deprecate protected underscore methods and vars

This is a proposal on how to deal with the remaining code style complaints about protected methods and class variables beginning with an underscore, by creating proxies and enclosing the deprecated functions in `@codingStandardsIgnoreStart` and `-End` tags.
A much better solution would be, of course, if the methods could just be renamed.

If this makes any sense you might leave this open for a while and I (or others) might fix the remaing 436 warnings ;)
