Description

Chia-Ping Tsai suggested on the mailing list that we have some methods on Cell which should be deprecated for removal:

#getType()
#getTimestamp()
#getTag()
#getSequenceId()

Let's make a pass over these (and maybe the rest) to make sure that there aren't others which are either implementation details or methods returning now-private-marked classes.
