and btw. this used to be ok in D (it's not now though).
If only they fixed it so that it also applied at the level of 
classes and structs, instead of stopping at the module level.

module m;
@safe:
private:

import foo;
import std;

void main()
{
     Foo f = new Foo();
     writeln(f.test(3)); // fine.
     writeln(f.test("hi there!")); // fine.
}


/*
module foo;
@safe:
private:

public class Foo
{
     private int test(int n) { return n; } // A private symbol 
should not interact with other modules.
     public string test(string str) { return str; } // this is 
overloading a private member.
}
