> Afaik every single OO language allows this. Ruby and Scala disallow it, to name two (edit: to clarify, Scala supports both modes via private and private[this]).

Yes, in TS it's a compile-time-only check (as are all TS checks), but what does that have to do with reusing the same keyword for a runtime check?
