The fix is pretty much a one-liner.
Probably 2.067 will already include it, right?
Last I heard, no one had been able to convince Walter that private symbols
should be hidden. They aren't in C++, but C++ doesn't have access levels for
anything other than classes, so the effect is _very_ different.
Another HUGE difference is that C++ generally splits API from
implementation. When you import .h files, you don't also import private
symbols which may be defined or used in the .cpp file.
D absolutely needs a way to say "this is ONLY for implementation, it's
not part of the API." private fits this bill EXACTLY.
Please do it.
