Do constructors in D support a privacy keyword? I'm guessing

because if i declare one like this:

i can still instantiate the class like this:

and there is no error thrown. Am i right in thinking the
privacy
keyword is ignored?
Did you put the 'new' line in the same file as class T? In D,
'private'
means 'private to this module', not 'private to this class' as
in C++.
So 'new T()' should be compilable inside the same module, but
not
outside. If it still compiles outside, I'd say file a bug.
T
It was inside the same module. I didn't realise that about
private. Thanks for the clarification.
