What is the basis for this assertion?
D tends to prefer structs with UFCS member functions rather than
classes, because one rarely needs the reference semantics or
inheritance. Also, classes are pretty inconvenient because they
are hard to use without the GC.
On a separate issue, 'private' should mean private! (not
kinda-private).
Let's not make D classes even more of joke.
`private` is for outside the module. Within the module, private
is not applied because D wanted to avoid C++'s `friend` functions.
