Making private symbols invisible to other modules or at least excluding

This smells like religious coding to me.
Nope.
NVI is perfectly possible with protected.
Exactly. Furthermore, private implies final anyway.
Which is complete bullshit.
It is a questionable design decision. It might be reasonable to allow
overriding private members, but that would mess with the vtable layout.
Even in a module you may want to override a
method.
... which is excluded from the public interface. There are better ways
to hide a method than to mark it private in an implementation class.
