Combining that with fileprivate will allow the same tricks without the indentation (together in their own file).  This nesting will help in the mean-time (and would still be useful after for those who prefer to organize their code in fewer/longer files).  I think it could be helpful in other ways too…

I don’t see how SE-0169 do that more than any other meaning private got until now. This was already the case with the initial meaning of private, and was the case with fileprivate.

And for file splitting and visibility control, we need submodules. Until then, if this proposal is to define the ultimate meaning of private, I rather like this meaning that the SE-0025 one.
