> Hello, everyone!<br class="">> <br class="">> I would like to introduce a new proposal to swift evolution, but first I<br class="">> would love to run it by all of you so I get everyone's feedback and enrich<br class="">> it.<br class="">> <br class="">> This proposal consists of introducing a new *typeprivate *access control<br class="">> level which allows for members to be accessed in all extensions of a given<br class="">> *type,* whether lying within or in another file.<br class="">> <br class="">> You'll find the proposal draft in:<br class="">> <a href="https://github.com/goncaloalvarez/swift-evolution/blob/master/" class="">https://github.com/goncaloalvarez/swift-evolution/blob/master/</a><br class="">> proposals/NNNN-introduce-typeprivate-access-control-level.md<br class="">> <br class="">> Thanks in advance for taking the time to evaluate the proposal.<br class="">> <br class="">> Best regards,<br class="">> Gonçalo<br class="">> <br class="">> <br class="">><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
