Eric, do you happen to know, if it's possible to do the opposite - i.e.
make public methods private by using private/protected inheritance? The
spec says (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/class.html):

InterfaceClass:
        Identifier
        Protection Identifier

Protection:
        private
        package
        public
        export

But what does it mean? I've asked this a few times before (nobody
answered). The compiler just bypasses the protection attributes. I think
other than public inheritance is anyway bad in D, especially when the
protection is used with interfaces.
