Will discprivate be next? and then systemprivate? </facetious>

I have been exploring extensions in Swift 3 both as a part of protocol-oriented programming and as a way to encapsulate related code to improve readability and maintainablity of otherwise more complex classes I have designed. I am able to encapsulate methods and calculated properties in extensions and restrict their use to the object type I am extending as long as everything is in one file via fileprivate.

This would allow the same level encapsulation as fileprivate with the benifit of being able to organize code into sepereate files based on function.
