-1 for reasons I've previously expressed in the discussions:

- It encourages everything to be stuffed in one file.
- It doesn't actually solve anything as the new private is very close to 
fileprivate, while abolishing private as truly scoped - which is a tool I use 
on regular basis.

Simply as long as it's file-based, it's not a solution, it's just another 
attempt to satisfy some part of the community. I'm not saying that the current 
access levels are perfect, but I still believe the way to go is to either use 
submodules, and/or introducing the concept of "protected" members.
