           Summary: protected AND package?

I need to make some members `package`, but they are `protected` and need to
stay that way.
It seems a problem that protected and package are mutually exclusive...
What are we supposed to do?

In practise, most base class members are `protected`... but what's the point of
package if not to make them accessible to some related functionality? We can't
sacrifice the derived class access to those members :/
