In the process of developing a process for handling screened Coulomb scattering, I needed to use
G4VCrossSectionhandler, but to read data ibto it from another source than the file tree it expects.
When I went to subclass it to override LoadData(), I discovered that the data arrays it generates are
classed as private.  If it would not break anyone else's plans, is there any reason why the last section of
the heasder file G4VCrossSectionhandler.hh cannot be modified to look like:

protected:

  // Hide copy constructor and assignment operator
  G4VCrossSectionHandler(const G4VCrossSectionHandler&);
  G4VCrossSectionHandler & operator=(const G4VCrossSectionHandler &right);

  G4VDataSetAlgorithm* interpolation;

  G4double eMin;
  G4double eMax;
  G4int nBins;

  G4double unit1;
  G4double unit2;

  G4int zMin;
  G4int zMax;

  G4DataVector activeZ;

  std::map<G4int,G4VEMDataSet*,std::less<G4int> > dataMap;

  std::vector<G4VEMDataSet*>* crossSections;

instead of having this stuff all private?

Thanks in advance.
