C++ friends are quite complex and are a giant pain. D's method
of everything in a module being implicitly a friend has been
working very well for 10 years now.
That is also the way to go IMO.
The usual definition of encapsulation is way too much object
centric. In many language, you'll find out that a class == a
module (or pretty much in practice). This don't fit at all
multi-paradigm, where D does pretty well.
