`class-private` is superfluous cruft. You can very easy live 
without it.
And it has only no side effects, if it is implemented without 
`friend`s. But without this misfeature it is incomplete.
Therefor it was decided not to implement it.

It would be ok for me to add `class-private` as is, but only with 
the guarantee that `friend`s will never be added, no matter how 
much the  people using it cry, because it is sometimes unusable 
without them.
