We have been looking for ways to restructure our proposal based on all the fine arguments raised by everyone during the discussion, however we have not found time to complete it. We will definitely keep in touch in the following days. I believe your proposal really relates to ours. The real urge is to revisit access level controls, if need it be, and create finer grained modifiers for better communication. </div><div><br></div><div>@Derrick</div><div><br></div><div>This being said, the solution might even reduce the number of access control modifiers and not just add one more to the pile. I think we all aim to have the right amount of modifiers for the right amount of use cases. Should they be organised and designed in a way that better conveys their intent, then I believe the number will not be the number one problem.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.800000190734863px">@Tino</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.800000190734863px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.800000190734863px">I do agree with you.

</span>I hope I didn't sound as if I was blaming you — imho it is not realistic to keep track of the evolution process as it is organised now, so even exact repetition is rather common<br>

</span>I don't think anyone is offended, and imho your offer to Gonzalo is a good move (it's just sad that there is no established tool for such collaboration)</blockquote></div><br></div>
