    }
 }
So, what's the bug? The language has never prevented you from accessing private classes/structs. I don't think it's ever mentioned in the spec. I will, however agree that it _should_ error on this (cannot access private class Inner), making this an enhancement request. If you're expecting foo() to be private, I don't think that's how it works.
