Interesting that Scala has 'private[this]'

Still, I think I'd prefer 'hidden' actually. It's pretty clear 
what you're stating here with that word. And, you can't confuse 
it with a contructor like 'this()'.

But it would require the addition of a new keyword, which takes 
the idea to a whole new level :-(

The addition of new keyword is really something I'd want to 
avoid, if at all possible.

perhaps 'private class' and 'private struct' makes more sense 
after all.
