Jup. But putting things in one module won't do anymore if you use 
class-private. That's why people using it will soon realize they 
need friends. But friends are a security hole, rendering private 
completely useless at all.

So adding class-private without friends is an incomplete feature, 
that will make nobody happy. But class-private with friends is a 
misfeature.
Ergo: do not add class-private at all!
All that's possible with class-private is also possible with 
module-private. But module-private don't has the friends-issue. 
Everything is good - you only need to realize that.
