I think the holy grail of such method invoker protection will
end up being incorporated into "Design by Contract" whenever they
implement it.
This is similar to you wanting to say: users should not be able
to call private methods unless you happen to be some serialization
process... There is *always* some special need to peek behind
protection lines. What is needed is either a clean way of specifying
this or the current situation whereby accessibility modifiers are said
to be "suggestions" to the compiler to flag errors but there is
absolutely no guarantee of security implied. There are always ways
around it...
