   Yes. A lot of OO languages have this, trying to cater to every imaginary   
   visibility and hiding situation possible. (including inner classes etc).   
   However IMHO the adding of the features complicates everything more than the   
   original problem.

   I agree with the latter, however sometimes, when used in combination with   
   some other features (classes, (operator) overloading and MI) they are evil.

   Yes. However inlining and OO are the only important new features, langauge   
   wise, the rest is VB.NET copying pretty much, and the price is high. I'm   
   still at D6 too for that reason. (while I'm pretty interested in inlining,   
   the E1500 price tag for an Enterprise update is too much for that, my   
   employer has D6Enterprise)
