what about adding (for 2.0) the keyword "inner" to specify an attribute that

It was decided against such a restriction, because one module is 
probably maintained by the same person or a group of people, and if they 
really need to make nonsense within such a small scope... well, there is 
nothing that could possibly stop them.

What would be nice is: to have inner classes (by this I mean a class
nested in another class and whose objects can only be created from within
the parent class and an object of this inner class holds implicitly a
reference
to its parent class.

So something like

class A
{
    class B
    {
        this(A parent)
        {
            this.parent = parent;
        }
        A parent;
    }
    void func()
    {
        B b = new B(this);
    }
}

would be the same as:

class A
{
    inner class B
    {
        this(){}
    }
    void func()
    {
        B b = new B();
    }
}
