The class vs module level of encapsulation was fleshed out a lot 
in the forums awhile back. I think it's fair to say most people 
where happy (or neutral) with the status quo, and were not 
convinced by the pro-class-level arguments.

I also suspect those that did prefer class level private (I 
believe this is what Atila prefers), it's not high on their list 
of priorities.
