Description Matthias Wienand CLA 2018-06-05 07:58:44 EDT 
Since the bending mechanism has not been changed in some time, I believe we should open the API for better extensibility.

For instance, methods such as findOrCreateAnchor() were once protected, but we changed them to private in order to hide the (bulky) implementation so that we are able to improve it later on.

Thus, we should either refactor the implementation or decide to expose the methods as is.
