[Uml-user] Re: [Uml-devel] Methods/attributes hiding...

You are right. That's a quick way useful in many situations.

It is important to tie such a feature to the class representation, 
and not to the class itself!

Anyway specifying the single methods/attributes would be better. 

Infact in some diagrams the interface is the intersting part, 
in others the focus has to be on the kernel of the class.
