MPI and private methods in octave::load_save_system

[c.]

Hi,

In Octave 5 the functions 

  do_load, do_save, read_binary_data, write_binary_data

from load-save.cc have been transformed into private methods of the class
  
  octave::load_save_system
  
The MPI package relies on these functions to Send/Receive variables as MPI 
messages.

Would it be possible to make these methods public so they can be accessed by 
DLD functions?
