It is closer, but it's not a goal for Swift to always follow conventions of 
other languages. It's useful sometimes. But in this case it goes directly 
against the philosophy of Swift's extension feature. Swift should be allowed to 
go against the norm when it serves the languages. And in this case, if only one 
private should exist, it's the file-s open one.
