Imho the only good "excuse" for "new private" are playgrounds. They are often forgotten in discussions, but afaics, Swift aims to be a good language for teaching, so there is some impact on its design.
Of course, this is only speculation on motivation, as I wasn't involved in the decision to add any Playground-related features to Swift (or other features ;-) _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list swift-evolution@swift.org https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
