Just as the private(this) is used to expose the private instance record, could 
static([[Constructor]]) be introduced to provide access to the union of static 
properties across the set of constructor objects? (I know that their is some 
concern about the lengthy syntax of private())

Regarding the use of private(AssignmentExpression), does it provide access to 
all private ExportableDefinition's regardless of what inherited class they were 
declared in? That is given
class Monster { 
  constructor(health) { 
    private health = health; 
  }
} 

class GilaMonster prototype Monster {
  constructor(owner) { 
    super(10); 
    private owner = owner;
  }
  eat(critter) { 
    If(critter === private(this).owner) {
      private(this).health = 0; 
    } else {
      private(this).health++;
    }
  }
}

Should the GilaMonster's private record include health?
