That is a pathetic, and yet another elitist view.
If programmers never programmed until they 'understood the tool',
there would not be 20+ million programmers in the world.
How many C++ programmers understand C++ (let alone have read the
spec).
The same can be asked for pretty much any other language.
Learning is still a gradual process - except for elitists it
seems, who expect you to know everything up front.
There is no if. You know what the stop sign means because
someone told you what it means. private means it is only
available to the module. It is entirely the fault of the user
for not reading the docs.
Another elitist view.
Its actively being improved, but in this case it was more than
adequate. The spec was pretty clear that private applies to
modules.
I disagree.
