*
* No - that doesn't make sense. The private member is not a member of Foo and

* restriction in our case. So why not implement it?
*
* Proponents of such an implementation are likely thinking of the act of
* inheriting methods as a copy/paste type of scenario. If we inherit public
* method baz(), and it were a copy/paste type of situation, then surely baz()
* would have access to all of SubFoo's private members. But that is not the
* case. Should baz() be defined as a member of Foo, then its scope is
* restricted to Foo and its supertypes. That is not how OO works. It is /not/
