Can checkPermissions be public instead of private?

In my app I would like to check what location permissions have already been authorized before I ask them to grant me location permission. That way I'm not forced to ask for permissions before they have even used the app. I can delay it to a later point when they do an operation that really requires that authorization.

I have that change made locally to my package and it seems to work as I would like it to.

Happy to submit that change if others agree.
