Can we make Model->fireModelEvent() and touchOwners() public?

[myckhel]

@driesvints Can we make Model->fireModelEvent() and touchOwners() a public method?

These methods cannot be used in trait and i think thats where it is likely for packages to call these methods.

Given below snippet i would like to delete a model children relationship when the model is deleting.

static::deleting(function($model) {
  $model->children->each->delete();
});
// will run duplicate queries

As it is not good to run duplicate db queries when you can actual run the query once.

It will be better to delete children with a single db query.

static::deleting(function($model) {
  $model->children->map(function ($child){
     // subscribers will receive deleting event on model
     $child->fireModelEvent('deleting'); // Error fireModelEvent not found
      
      // Here, we'll touch the owning models, verifying these timestamps get updated
      //   // for the models. This will allow any caching to get broken on the parents
      //   // by the timestamp. Then we will go ahead and delete the model instance.
      $child->touchOwners(); // Error touchOwners not found
  });
  $model->children()->delete();
});
