I need to push back just one more time.

That capability is not there. That is my whole point and reason 
for this thread.

You cannot say this in D code: "this particular part of my class 
is mine alone, not even my friendly module neighbors can touch 
it."

People can debate as to whether I should have the right (or need) 
to say that "this part of my class is mine alone, not even my 
friendly module neighbors can touch it.", but they cannot argue 
that I can already do this.

D's position is very clear though. That is, "You simply cannot 
say this in D - and that's they way we want it to remain."
