Try to import that class from another module...
It doesn't stop imports, that's what I'm saying. I can import and
instantiate the class from another module even though it's a private
class definition.
For a long time, protection attributes have no effect on a global scope.
I personally think they should either work (only private/package/public)
or be a compiler error. To silently be accepted is really confusing.
However, on an inner scope, you can declare a private class/struct:
a.d:
class C
{
private struct S
{
}
}
main.d:
import a;
void main()
{
C.S s; // error
}
