`class-private` is superfluous cruft. You can very easy live
without it.
And it has only no side effects, if it is implemented without
`friend`s. But without this misfeature it is incomplete.
Therefor it was decided not to implement it.
It would be ok for me to add `class-private` as is, but only with
the guarantee that `friend`s will never be added, no matter how
much the people using it cry, because it is sometimes unusable
without them.
