No, no, I knew about that.  I mean that you can specify a protection 
attribute for a base class.  Look at the "Classes" spec, you'll notice it's 
in the syntax, but it's never mentioned in the docs.  And I really didn't 
expect it to do anything.  Maybe this weird behavior is why Walter never 
really fleshed it out, or had to abandon the idea (since privately importing 
Object is a bad thing).  It's probably just a vestige.
