... modulo the private symbol clash issue. For all I know it is deliberate, which is embarrassing. Other than obviously breaking modularity, it severely restricts the usefulness of symbol disambiguation (which it makes necessary when it should not be), because the disambiguating alias may introduce more conflicts even if it is private, all over the code base.
The reason it is that way is to avoid having it behave gratuitously differently than how visibility works within classes and structs.
