It's 2024. That should have been the principle a decade ago
Remember how the so called 'discussions' about the
'privateThis' concept always got heaped on. People just wanted
to shut it down rather that discuss it. 'Go write a DIP' was
the response...remember.
The class vs module level of encapsulation was fleshed out a
lot in the forums awhile back. I think it's fair to say most
people where happy (or neutral) with the status quo, and were
not convinced by the pro-class-level arguments.
I also suspect those that did prefer class level private (I
believe this is what Atila prefers), it's not high on their
list of priorities.
I like private as it is now. Especially because if anyone wants
it to be "class-private", they can do that anyway: write a class
per module like one has to in Java.
My 2 centimes (cos I live in Switzerland) is that if you're
worried about too much code having access to your private
functions, your module is probably too large.
