swift-evolution Digest, Vol 4, Issue 35

What if private was just removed, and instead just has a literal description of where the member is accessible from?

public var something: Int
module var something: Int
file var something: Int
scope var something: Int

These are very nice and short names. I think that private and private(X) is
better though because it's obvious that it's about access level and not
something else (like a variable name or some other thing). These words need
more context while private(x) doesn't.
