that's the problem right there, really: never, ever introduce private 
functions in public libraries. that's what we have dptrs for: add them to the 
private class and access them there from the public class' implementation.

nobody should be using private functions, so it becomes a moot point. at least 
that's been how we've been dealing with that issue up until now: apps that 
violated private member encapsulation deserve to break. ;)
