Expose model object in RequestContext with public getter [SPR-5686]

Expose model object in RequestContext. Background:

Trying to use Freemarker with Tiles, and I want to manipulate the model from an "enclosing" request and, while I can get hold of the RequestContext via the AbstractTemplateView.SPRING_MACRO_REQUEST_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, but then I can only get the model by using Field.setAccessible(true), e.g.

String contextAttribute = AbstractTemplateView.SPRING_MACRO_REQUEST_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE;
RequestContext context = (RequestContext) request
		.getAttribute(contextAttribute);
if (context != null) {
	@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
	Map<String, Object> model = (Map<String, Object>) MacroModelInterceptor
			.getField(context, "model");
	model.remove(contextAttribute);
	modelAndView.addAllObjects(model);
	request.removeAttribute(contextAttribute);
}
