Christophe,
    I guess a part of the problem is that if I subclass from a parent class,
I might not know what private methods it has. Thus, if the superclass ends
up having a private method annotated w/ @SetupRender, and I accidentally end
up having a private method in my class w/ the same name and annotated
@SetupRender, my method isn't getting called. Sounds like a massive
violation of encapsulation principles.

Regards,

Alex K
