I'll politely disagree and point out you *must* use fileprivate in order<br>
to get what it provides. It's unavoidable in that sense.<br>
<br>
As the access control change has been implemented for what only can be<br>
described in a number of weeks, it's disappointing that a feature I used<br>
to great effect in prior versions of Swift has already been relegated to<br>
"if you don't like the name, don't use it."<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
