This preserves the benefit of the “fileprivate” concept that we have today in Swift, while aligning the “private” keyword with common expectations of people coming to Swift. This also makes “private" the "safe default” for cases where you don’t think about which one you want to use, and this schema will cause minimal churn for existing Swift code.
