Am I missing something or should the code above compile?

It should NOT compile.
"the enclosing" class means B.

"or members and functions in the same module"
A and B are in the same module.

the code below compiles
# class B{
#        private char c;
# }
#
# void test(B b){
#        b.c='2';
# }

I thought this bug had been fixed, but apparently not.

Yes.  Moreover, it's a prime example of the usefulness of private stuff being accessible to the module.

It's just a slightly cut-down version of private_02 in DStress.

Any particular reason you don't like this feature?

And if we broke plenty of existing code by changing it, how would you suggest rewriting this?

You're right. I forget that.
Somebody explain it to me on these groups but obviously
my understanding is only supperficial, and I don't use it at all.
