Is it not possible *today* or never?
I don't know how the compiler works, but try to understand me:
I would like to modularize a big program in small packages — because
it's better than to use dll/so.
Each one these packages will work in a bounded context. Each one may
have a "Facade" to the main program, exposing its "interface" (classes
and interfaces, most).
So, the main program shouldn't know nothing about "private units" that
belongs only for the package.
That is encapsulation too.
