Do you honestly believe that C++'s private members are really private?
Privateness is only enforced during parsing time. Nobody can stop you
from messing around with header files or memory. You can still access
and modify private members but it's all messy and ugly. Even C# and .NET
don't stop you from doing nasty things from unmananged assemblies.

Seriously, 'private' and 'protected' are merely tools to stop bad
programmers from doing bad stuff. And the serve as documentation, too.

Oh, by the way, the first C++ compilers just converted C++ code to C
code. Such much about "You can't do OOP in C."!
