Looking at [this source|https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/core/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/Dataset.scala] of the {{Dataset}} it seems that {{showString}} is still package-private. What is the reason not to expose a similar method to the public?

_Note_: the reason I would like to have such a method is to use the pretty-formatted output of the {{show}} method without being forced to inject it to the standard output.
