[swift-evolution] final + lazy + fileprivate modifiers

[Rien]

A parabel: Nobody is going to invest a week of his time so save $1 of taxes per year. Yet somebody who receives those millions of dollars will invest -if need be- all of his time to keep it coming. Guess who wins?

Same with private. There is no BIG harm. But a great many of very little minor ones. Learning swift, increased cognitive load during programming, mistakes to be corrected, difficulty in testing, and I am sure many more can be found.

Rien
