Comment (by boonebgorges):

 The purpose of the `call_edit_screen()` method is to pass the group_id
 param directly to the `edit_screen()` callback. We need the middleman
 because `call_edit_screen()` (and, previously, `edit_screen()` itself) is
 hooked to `bp_template_content`. The only way to pass a value to a
 callback on a WP action is to pass it as an additional parameter to
 `do_action()`, eg `do_action( 'bp_template_content',
 bp_get_current_group_id() )`. But doing this would require modifying
 template files, which won't work for backward compatibility (and is also
 ugly). Having the `call_` method allows for full backward compatibility
 with existing themes and `BP_Group_Extension` plugins.
