I think it may be worth to add a bit more detail how these methods are supposed to work.

I assume the idea is that they will check their caller frame in the runtime and will only allow the call to proceed if it comes from the same module, right?

As we agreed this needs to be checked at runtime, given we have a 'dynamic dispatch'.

@radeusgd Most of these details are already mentioned in the discussion that is linked from the description, I have just not pasted those details here.

Exactly.

One can move such private methods into its own private module and register them as extension methods on a non-private type. That should be encapsulated enough for now.

• #8836 - is now integrated. That unlocks implementation of this issue. Let's consider it for tomorrow's backlog.
