This was recently discovered locally, that it is allowed (without a warning)
to create class like this:
public abstract class AbstractBase
{
internal abstract void foo();
}
First, I thought it's a sort of bug. But after some thinking about the
fact... This could be used to ensure all derived classes are in the same
assembly, but base class is still usable from outside. Moreover, unlike with
interfaces, you ensure protocol and still don't allow anyone to implement it
outside of your package. Details here:

Any comments from the group?
