My guess is that this was taken from Java, as in fact most of the D class system seems to be (see `synchronized`, reference semantics, etc). There it makes sense, because there is only one class per compilation unit, so the `private` members are in effect hidden from any child classes and it wouldn't make sense to override them.
This is a very good guess. Specifically, I think classes (and the mechanisms for inner classes and anonymous classes) were added to D1 to allow porting of JWT to D.
