[swift-evolution] Analysis of existing scopes

[Jonathan Hull]

Swift 3 private means private to the current scope. For top-level items, that scope is the file.

If we are allowed to nest protocols inside structs/classes (which I believe is happening in Swift 3.2), then we will be able to have protocols private to those types.

Thanks,
