Oops. Yes. And I was thinking of C++ "protected". Basically, I think the
"private" keyword in C++ should be dropped. Mainly for pragmatic reasons.
Every time I have forgotten to label a data field "protected" such that it
ended up "private", I have at some point down the road regretted that while
building some derived class. So "private" in C++ is an intellectually
appealing notion that never seems empirically to be the right thing to do.
