That why reading the specification is important!

Ya I guess you be right - but a leak is what it is to people who
expect private to mean private. Which is not a small number of
people ;)
And while I agree reading a spec is important. Language specs are
not known for being trivial to go through and it's not really
something you read but more of something you refer to, and that
also probably for more advanced developers. This is not something
you can expect newcomers or even intermediate level devs to go
through. And the less you need to refer to a spec the better
(i.e. more intuitive) a language is.
