'private' is "meant" to be part of the implementation of 'the 
class'.

Whereas D makes it part of the implementation of 'the module' ( 
which is an even higher level of abstraction).

This is an abomination!

A class should have the capacity to protect its 
attributes/methods - even from the module.
