I think what I really want is some sort of access control for references to an object. Like the default is the compiler will throw a warning if you access a private field with a default reference. So things like this works but the compiler bitches. printf("what hell is bar doing %i", foo.bar); // throws a warning 'bar is private' But you can have a reference that's all in for api functions. And also a reference that will throw a warning for any attempt access fields. The idea being it's a pure handle.
