[swift-evolution] access control

[Thorsten Seitz]

Ah, of course, you are right. Mixing both levels (file and class private) isn't possible with the current model, it's either one or the other.

Feeling a bit silly for not thinking of that myself and apologies to Ilya and you all for being a little thick-headed...
