It's a shame the standard library can't use `fileprivate` and `private`, but the SDK overlays have the following usage:

$ egrep --include *.swift --recursive '\bfileprivate\b' ./stdlib/public/SDK
[47 results]

$ egrep --include *.swift --recursive '\bprivate\b' ./stdlib/public/SDK
[65 results, 8 of which are at file scope]
