Thank you for posting a very informative example, i think not
just myself but everyone else on this forum had completely forgot
how class private is supposed to work. In spite of the 1000 or so
posts you've made about it.
Keep up the good work!

I suspect we'll agree to disagree). Its probably more useful if you manage a team of barely competent idiot programmers.

What was said was "causing US problems". I.e. on the whole, the lack of class-level privacy does not appear to be causing widespread problems, which implies that it's simply lower on the list of feature requests for most people. Allowing mutable state to escape - the confines of the type in which it has been declared - into the whole of the module, will inevitably lead to a problem. My first use of the D language demonstrated that this statement is factual. The more 'widespread' D is used, will 'likely' also demonstrate the same. What we need to do is find a way to make the computer explode when somebody does that. Weed out the stupid programmers. ;-)
