It is a sad state the implicit public properties use *var* and implicit
public methods nothing, this makes the introduction of new visibility
modifiers terribly complicated. You are completely right, they should be
the same and *var* should be banned. It is consistent and that is very
important. I cannot and do not want to argue against this. Yet at the
same time the lack of access (and additional visibility) modifiers is
what I am missing the most. Seems as if this has to wait for 8.0 (or
9.0, depending on the resistance). :(
