give my input on the idea. There have indeed been a couple of discussions
of this recently. Try searching for threads on a list archive using terms
such as "package visibility", "namespace visibility", "private class", and
the related notion of "friend class" / "friend function". I wonder if we
should maintain a Usenet-style FAQ for this list, to make it easier to find
what has previously been discussed on a topic. Regards, -- Rowan Collins

It was suggested that a prototype be made, I have provided one, and it
should pass basic demos.  I just didn't want to take it further than that
unless it generate some interest.
