From an textbook on object-oriented programming discussing
encapsulation--the hiding of details of an implementation:


	(...) C++ offers even more flexible control over the visibility
	of member objects and member functions.  Specifically, members
	may be placed in the public, private, or protected parts of a
	class.  Members declared in the public parts are visible to
	all clients; members declared in the private parts are fully
	encapsulated; and members declared in the protected parts are
	visible only to the class itself and its subclasses.  C++ also
	supports the notion of *friends*: cooperative classes that are
	permitted to see each other's private parts.
