Fair enough. C++, C#, and Rust are private by default, and I 
thoroughly enjoy using them.

But 'enjoyment' was not part of the question ;-)

Ah. Now I completely forgot you could do that.

module m;
@safe:
private:
// ok. now I have a much better starting point -> for 'my type' 
of programming.


But still, I have to 'remember' to do these things in D... and I 
keep forgetting that.

I also often forget to use const.
