From the RFC:


> var is therefore a limited subset of public.


No, this is wrong. `var` was here much much longer than `public`, therefore
`var` is not a subset of public, but rather `public` is _an extension_ of
`var`. The keyword `var` is also unique for it's semantics in the later
versions of the language viz. previous discussion:

- `var` represents not any certain visibility, it states that the
visibility of property is yet unspecified
- `var` can semantically also represent an internal dependency, as I have
described earlier
