Hello All.
Is there a standard way to protect a field of a struct after
the struct has been initialized?
Is this possible with a struct?
If not, I suppose a class (object) would be needed? If so,
are there any simple pointers to an example of this?
Thanks in advance,

`private` works for structs the same as it does for classes.
https://dlang.org/spec/attribute.html#visibility_attributes
Perhaps you tried it, realized you could still access it within
the same module, and concluded that it didn't work? Consider note
#2 at that link: "Symbols with private visibility can only be
accessed from within the same module." Import the struct into
another module and test the visibility there and you'll get the
behavior you're looking for.
