Any reason Origen::Parameter set contexts are hidden from the user?

Is there any reason the Origen::Parameters sets do not have a public method for retrieving all of the possible set ids? I do see a public method that works, though it isn't named like it is meant to be used publicly. Why is this not more visible?

[6] pry(#<PPEKit::Product>)> $dut.func._parameter_sets.ids
=> [:default,
 :func_default,
 :func_harvest_default,

EDIT

@Ginty, I tried your suggestion but it doesn't return the keys I am looking for. In the first sentence in the Parameter docs, the keys I am looking for are referred to 'parameter contexts'. The reason these would be useful would be to do something like this:

 my_param_key = :my_param_key
 if Origen.top_level.func.has_context? my_param_key
   ...

Specifically, I am creating parameter contexts from the information in my flow file and would like to verify that they exist before trying to access them. Essentially it is a handshake between my test flow and the test method parameters I am storing using unique (hopefully) parameter IDs/contexts.

thx

Origen now supports knowing the available parameter contexts.

In your example, dut.func.params should return a hash-like object which contains all the parameter sets, so to get the IDs is just: dut.func.params.keys

EDIT

I see now that you want a collection containing the available contexts, but it doesn't seem like that is currently provided via an API. I don't think there is any particular reason for that, probably hasn't been needed until now.

params.context returns the currently active context, I would recommend we add params.contexts and/or params.available_contexts to return an array of the available context names.
