The Immediately-Invoked Function Expression (IIFE) pattern could be used to
create private classes.
some.package.SomeClass = (function()
{
var SomeHelperClass = function(){};
var SomeClass = function(){};
return SomeClass;
})();
SomeHelperClass will only be accessible inside the (function(){}).
SomeClass will be returned to allow it to be exposed externally. It's a
pretty common pattern in JavaScript to avoid polluting the global namespace.
