Hello,

Normally, adding parameters to a public or protected method of a public class 
is BIC and hence forbidden.

However, what about adding parameters to a non-virtual private method? It is 
certainly BIC, but no one outside of the library was ever supposed to use it, 
so if it breaks, it's their own fault.

What policy does KDE follow as far as changing private methods of public 
classes are concerned? [1] doesn't meantion that point, that's why I ask.
