Class \Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\Textarea breaks specification of the parent class \Magento\Framework\Data\Form\Element\AbstractElement by not calling the method getBeforeElementHtml (getAfterElementHtml is called)

I have temporary fixed it for myself with a plugin: https://mage2.pro/t/150

(Side note - how did you find the experience of creating a plugin?)

[dmitrii-fediuk]

I think the plugins is the top one feature of Magento 2.
It would be great to plug-in not only to the public methods but to the protected methods too.
It would help to solve the ploblems like #2165 in a more efficient way (now I was forced to override all the class because the problem methods are protected and can not be plugged in).
