Why is the SocketNamespace#emit api private?

[coreh]

The @api for SocketNamespace#emit is labeled as private: https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io/blob/master/lib/namespace.js#L183

/**
 * Emits to everyone (override)
 *
 * @api private
 */

Is this method really meant to be private, or was it labeled incorectly? Is there a way to achieve this functionality without resorting to io.sockets.emit()?

Thanks.

Sorry, that's a typo.

probably labeled incorrectly.
