Sorry if I wasn’t expressing myself well enough. In my original email, I said that:
> The new rules make `private` more prominent compared to `fileprivate` (the > latter has a somewhat worse name). So I agree that my issue is more with the naming than the functionality. I’m mainly complaining that because of its name, `fileprivate` feels like more of a special corner case of `private`. But in the style of writing types through extensions, `fileprivate` will become much more prevalent than `private`, which feels slightly backwards. But I don’t want to dabble too much about it. If its the way it’s going to be, so be it. > On 29 Jun 2016, at 15:11, Matthew Johnson <matt...@anandabits.com> wrote: > > There is nothing preventing you from using fileprivate if you want to write > your code in this style.
