[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0159: Fix Private Access Levels

[Carl Brown1]

Yes, it would change my opinion of it.  I wouldn't become a strong
supporter because I don't see any value in it, but a rigorous proof that
this proposal could not possibly introduce regressions to any existing
codebases would change my opinion from "strongly against" to "doesn't
matter to me, I'll stop arguing against it and go get my real work done".

Would it change your opinion on the proposal?

  I would very much like to see your proof that the resultant code is

  My point is that, in rolling back the specific portion of SE-0025,
  case-sensitive find-and-replace will be the trickiest thing in most
  codebases, save those that result in invalid redeclarations. The behavior
  of the resultant code is, unless I'm mistaken, provably unchanged.
