- Chris,
-
- Well, the idea was simply to use a different syntax for declaring things PUBLIC
- and PRIVATE. Everything declared in "my" object's Interface section would be
- treated as though it had "your" object's PUBLIC keyword, and everything in the
- Implementation section would be treated as though it had the PRIVATE keyword.
-
- My thinking was that it was more Pascal-like to use "Interface" and
- "Implementation", rather than add new keywords.
-
- And yes, I've long thought that adding PUBLIC and PRIVATE would be relatively
- easy, since they would not affect code generation. But I suppose if they
- released a new version every time a single feature was added, we'd have to add
- a few more digits to the version numbering system.
