Yeah, I know it is technically private.  We still tend to keep names around unless there's a good reason to delete them (like using them leads to broken code anyway).  The code search is some evidence this deletion would be OK, but why *not* follow Amaury's suggestion?

I'm OK if you reclose this, but I unfortunately I don't think simple cleanliness is a good argument (even though I would like it to be).  The other arguments are better :)
