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.
To be clear: my subject line is misleading. I used that text because
it's what came out of the compiler's mouth. I do understand your
reasoning why you can't change the visibility of a base class, just not
for an interface.
