But this has always been the case ;-)

Encapsulation is an abstract concept.

A cell can be considered encapsulated.
The earth could be considered enscapsulated.
The solar system could be considered encapsulated.
The galaxy could be considered encapsulated.
There is even some suggestions that the universe could be 
considered encapsulated.

whereas:

private(scope), is a real, compile-time-enforcable, design 
constraint.
