A programmer being able to declare a private member in a class is 
a 'delicate' subject.

It inflames war? Really?

Yes I know this is all true actually.

But the idea is fundamentally sound.

I simply cannot agree to those that say it is not sound.

The motivations for such fierce opposition to it, is the problem.

By discussing it, their motivations become clearer.

My motiviation could not be simpler. I just want to declare a 
private member in my class - that is all I want.
