I think that, as long as code within the `fileprivate` scope is responsible for 
passing the KeyPath out, that's an *extremely* useful thing. It essentially 
lets a privileged scope delegate its access to a less-privileged scope so it 
can do complex, potentially read-write work on its behalf. Imagine keeping an 
instance variable private, but allowing a serialization framework to access it 
through a key path; that'd be pretty handy.
