At the very least a comment specifying these are for internal use. Does SBFile not have a way to construct with a FileSP? Maybe these are not needed if that is the case?

Normally you can just use the FileSP version, and not create a SBFile.    But in some cases creating a SBFile manually is required, such as if you want to control how the file object is translated from python into C++.

If I mad them protected, with a friend declaration, the friend would have to be some name that is auto-generated by SWIG.
