I claimed earlier that Beta has information hiding. Let me
follow up by saying private slots are maybe a tiny bit clumsy;
but they do the job well and are flexible. You may argue that
there are hacks to circumvent them; but that goes for
virtually all information hiding mechanisms. I wonder what
it is you want that Beta hasn't?
