Is there a way to provide a combination attributes of both protected and
package?
Need access to derived classes and other modules in the same package. When
declare as "package protected", the former is just ignored.

I searched the NG and saw some trace, but there seem no conclusion yet.

I needed this too, but for a different reason: to allow virtual behaviour on internal (package) class methods. But D doesn't support it. Combining certain protection attributes would be nice to have.

Protection seems to be a work in progress anyway.

This post is redirected from d.learn. I think somebody else requires this capability too.

Any suggestion?
