Hi Georges,

I quite like this idea. Although I struggle to see many use cases. The =
only one I=E2=80=99ve thought of in the past is the ability to =
=E2=80=98befriend=E2=80=99 the test case for your class. So you don=E2=80=99=
t have to extend the class in your tests if you want access to =
non-public class members.

This is purely a dev use-case, so I question it=E2=80=99s worth. But =
i=E2=80=99d be interested to hear any other use-case suggestions.

Regards,
