Ack.  Sorry, I overlooked that. :-(

Still, I think this provides greater impulse for Issue 10996 to be fixed, since 
your issue clearly stems from the same access implementation issues.  If you 
make a public alias, you'd expect public members of whatever you're aliasing to 
be public through that alias.

I guess it might be desirable to require some clear indication "Yes, I really, 
really know what I'm doing and I do want this alias to be public" -- e.g. 
compelling you to use the public keyword explicitly.
