I don't have any objection to the idea that a module can have 
privileged access to members of classes within that model. It 
sounds sensible enough, if the module is a level of encapsulation 
also.

My arguments is that, this was implemented in D, at the cost of 
removing the capacity for a class in the same module to protect 
it's own members (within the module). That's what I don't like 
about it.

My other objection, as stated, is that D uses the same syntax as 
C++/C#/Java, but the semantics of that same syntax are completely 
different. I also don't like that.
