Does the same apply for interfaces? I'm specifically implementing an
interface with non-public visibility. This shouldn't affect the
visibility of the implicit Object base-class.
Right. Only classes are affected.
Ok...so I still don't understand why the original example shouldn't
compile. I'm not trying to change the visibility of the base class but
rather the visibility of the interface.
