Hello Lukas,
alright,
'foo as bar' is ok to me and does not even add a new keyword.
Ignore or any more keywords are bad and I also think that the correct
would be hide(ing). But as I further more explained it should really be
something that only marks a method as private if at all. That can be
done as:
'foo as private' since private is a keyword it cannot conflice anyway.
