Actually, imho fileprivate isn't odd or "unswift"* — it's one of the three
original levels, which all rely on the layout of the filesystem ("same file?"
and "same folder/module?").
Even if there was a change of mind, fileprivate is still needed for essential
things like implementing Equatable.
But I'm not arguing against typeprivate at all (nor against access control in
general ;-)
