Okay, I tried searching, and didn't find anything pertinent...

How do I create a property for a class named "private" and not have the 
Objective-C++ compiler trip on it?

Here's what I first tried:

@property(assign,getter=isPrivate) BOOL private;

That @property declaration works just fine when compiling Objective-C code, but 
when the header is imported into Objective-C++ code, I get the following error 
twice:
error: expected unqualified-id before 'private'

I know the word "private" is used as a keyword in C++ to mark the private 
section of a class. So I tried rephrasing that property declaration to try and 
get the compiler to treat the word "private" as a property name and not as a 
C++ keyword. I thought this might work:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
@property(assign,getter=isPrivate) BOOL private;
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

But I still get a compiler error:
error: misplaced '@property' Objective-C++ construct

I'm using GCC 4.2 as the compiler. At this point it's not a big deal, because I 
can still use old-school property declarations, but it would be nice to know 
how to fix this problem (if possible)...
