Re: Release D 2.096.0
The fix for Issue 21508 - _private class p in file p.d visible
outside the file (module)_ removed a behavior that was (wrongly)
used from time to time:
```
module Foo;
class Foo {...}
```
The class `Foo` can no longer be imported with `import Foo;` This
is a surprising breaking change. Perhaps it should be documented
more explicitly.

I'm concerned that this feature will be in purgatory if its
author becomes busy or forgets about it. (Barring another
individual assuming proprietorship.)
I wrote the implementation for that and I've made it clear that I
have zero interest in going through the DIP process; I'm done
with it as is. Someone else will have to do whatever else they
decide to do.

Amazing! I had no idea this got in. I love the syntax.
It's pretty neat, but a DIP has to be drafted and approved for
it to be enabled by default, right? (Unless I missed it.)
Correct. To be completely honest it shouldn't have ever been

I raised a similar concern before with something else (don't remember what it was), but apparently things can be merged without W's approval if they're behind a switch (in the opinion of at least some of the core maintainers, at least). Yeah, iirc preview switches can be added without a DIP because it's not a part of the language per se. It's probably a reasonable approach, because otherwise you would get a multitude of forks instead.

Yeah, c# added this syntax awhile back and is nice to use at
times, usually because I stumble on the property syntax.
