class Check {}
fileprivate extension Check {
public func px() {
print("It compiles!")
}
}
Check().px()
This code executes without complains — but your example is right, it fails if
the extension is marked private… wtf? Access modifiers aren't even mentioned in
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/Extensions.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014097-CH24-ID151
It really seems to me that the current extension-model is somewhat broken; do
you have a link to documentation of access levels for extensions?

I'd simply say f is private and only visible inside the extension…
