Add explode function to Creeper Entity

I have thought of adding a method to Creeper entity that allows a developer to make a Creeper explode with something like this:

public void explodeCreeper(Creeper creeper){
   creeper.explode();
}

I've noticed this has never been added to CraftBukkit for as long as Creepers have existed since near Minecraft's inception.

I want to ask before I make this change if this is worth the time to add this or if it would make no sense.
