Lets be honest there's no data that adding "class private" would 
prevent bugs or cure cancer. Just a couple of people waving their 
arms because somebody told them the world aint flat like the good 
book of OO told them and now they cant cope.

The nearest thing to data we have is that the vast majority of 
experienced D users dont give two hoots about it and the only 
people who do get upset are the occasional newbie every 6 months 
or so.

Maybe go through github / bugzilla whatever, find some **real** 
examples of bugs it would have prevented. I think you'll have a 
tough time, because if it did help prevent bugs more people would 
be like "oh yeah that would be really useful".
