Don't have a strong opinion about this because I'm not the target 
user. The only time I use `private` is when I have something 
temporary in my library or some internal C bindings. I can see it 
being useful I guess for some people. The simplest solution now 
is to prefix your "scopeprivate" functions with a `_`. Ugly names 
are kinda powerful because you always feel weird about using 
them. Same as `__traits` or `__gshared` I assume :)
You can also search for `_` in your source code. Not the solution 
you want probably, but anyway.
