afaics this is the third time someone mentions that "file-private" is uncommon 
— so I think it's time someone dissents:
That statement is at least subjective… right now, "file-private" is one of 
three access levels, and I wouldn't dare to say either is more or less 
important than the others.

I never encountered situations with the current model where I missed a new 
"private"-level, and maybe "private" will become fairly unusual for the code 
I'll be writing.

In my existing code, the new meaning of private wouldn't break much, but the 
current meaning doesn't hurt me, and there are cases where "file-private" is 
needed.

None the less, I don't care much about the "ugliness" of "fileprivate" — but 
not because I perceive it as unusual:
I just expect that code completion will do the typing for me, so maybe "f" will 
be all I have to write (half the characters of "pr" ;-)
