Well actually in D the meanings above are not quite accurate. In D the
meanings are ...

Private: Accessible to code in the same module.

Protected: Accessible to code in the same module and from classes derived
from the protected class. (Only applies to classes).

Public: Accessible to code in any module.

Package: Accessible to code in any module within the same package, which
means in the same directory.

Export: Accessible to code in other applications.
