Should the doc be clearer on this?
- "to" in "to descendant types" from an English point of view says
"the descendant themself" or "the code inside the descendant"
Yes, because that is what is meant.
What you observe is a corollary of the scoping rules as I explained
above. I'll add a remark.
And maybe take into account "module" vs "modules". I.e. while for
"private" it always is just one single module, for "protected" the class
(including its bases) may be declared across several modules.
So that adds in the current text, to the misleading/omitting character
of the doc.
