Functions are designated private because creating public API is costly. If it's in API you have to maintain it; you can't change implementation details that the API used to hide. That said, that function does look a good candidate for public API; try putting a patch together and getting comment on it. On the other hand, have you tried setting the column to COLUMN_FIXED while adding data and back to COLUMN_AUTOSIZE afterwards?
