I think that the current “private” modifier is misnamed. It would be much more concise to call it “file internal” or something similar, but it looks like it’s too late to change this now. Both “private” and “local” are useful. One doesn’t have to exclude the other.

Oh, then I apologise. I got the wrong impression and/or was inattentive. In principle, I see no issue with adding a new access modifier as you suggest. I don’t think that I personally will use it, but some people could find it useful.
