It does decide who has access: any class that declares it as "delegated"=
=2E In exactly the same way, "protected" gives access to any class that dec=
lares it as a "parent", and namespace visibility would give access to any c=
lass that declares itself in the same namespace=2E

None of those actually limit access to a named list of classes, but all of=
 them document an intended use, and catch mistakes where that intent isn't =
followed=2E
