As usual, an excellent bit of writing containing things I wasn't aware 
of. Thanks!

You just describe how package access attribute works better then 
the spec itself!
Good job.

I noticed that the `export` visibility attribute is curiously not 
mentioned anywhere in the article. I suppose it is not relevant 
to the encapsulation story, but it is weird to see it in the spec 
(https://dlang.org/spec/attribute.html#visibility_attributes) 
among public, private etc. but not the article.
