The current semantics of private don’t give any support for partial types like 
in C# because the accessibility is restricted to the current scope. With 
SE-0169’s private, extensions in the same file as the type share that scope. 
Plus, the Alternatives Considered section of the proposal discusses potential 
future directions where those extensions could look even more like C# partials 
:)
