Sebb commented on LANG-965:
---------------------------
I don't understand.
Surely the issue here is methods that need to temporarily change the accessible
flag in order to work ought to restore the original accessibility status?
If the user subsequently changes the status, so what?
I don't follow how fixing the original issue can affect users.

> never reset to false. This is side-effect should be cleaned up.
> This makes a mess of the object model which represents the class meta data.
