Honestly, for all those "how to write library classes" issues, I would say, let's
just do what Qt does. Consistent, and avoids re-inventing (and re-discussing!)
the wheel.

Qt uses QFooPrivate instead of QFoo::Private, maybe the reason is the visibility
issue, but in any case I'd suggest we just do that.

Similary, I would suggest just using Q_DISABLE_COPY, etc.
