You've declared `Private` as `package`.
Hit but not sunk. It makes no difference:
~~~Private.d
module Private;
import std.stdio: writeln;
class A {}
private class B {}
private class Private {
void foo () { __PRETTY_FUNCTION__.writeln; }
}
~~~
$ dmd main.d
$ ./main
void Private.Private.foo()

I don't get it. Furthermore according to
https://wiki.dlang.org/Access_specifiers_and_visibility#private
there is always external linkage on private variables and
functions.
Does D not provide a means to stop symbols from going into the
object file?
