static and protection

[John C]

It appears that protection attributes on static class methods don't get 
recognised. This compiles without errors:

    module stuff;

    class Visible {
        private static void hidden() {}
    }

    -----8<-----
    module program;

    import stuff;

    void main() {
        Visible.hidden();
    }

An error is issued if hidden() is at module level. I sometimes feel that 
classes are second-class citizens in D.
