Fair enough. So I guess stackSize should just be a c'tor parameter and

So I was learning how to make a module of mine very strict with private
parts, and was surprised I could only do this with global variables and
functions. Enums, structs, and classes are fully visible outside the
module regardless of being wrapped in a private{} or prefixed with
private.
