Make getter org.hibernate.criterion.SimpleExpression#getOp() public
Description
When migrating legacy Criteria API code to JPA CriteriaBuilder (which is a must before upgrading to 6.0!), one option is to write a transformer to migrate, e.g. legacy Hibernate SimpleExpressions to a JPA predicate. Unfortunately, the getter org.hibernate.criterion.SimpleExpression#getOp() is set to protected and cannot be accessed.
Making this getter public would be beneficial for migration of legacy Criteria API code to CriteriaBuilder as it makes life a lot easier.
