Altering the definition sequence in b.d to have the private 
version second has the desired result. Otherwise, when following 
private foo, it looks like public foo gets adopted as a public 
constructor. The same for classes.

`b.d` is the cmd line arg to the executable. The correct order of 
arguments to dmd is: `dmd -g -unittest -main b.d -run a.d`
