Well, if the members are public you end up with the fragile base class
problem (http://2f.ru/holy-wars/fbc.html) - that's one of the reasons
for the high number of ABI breaks in APT.
The easiest solution to this problem is to use incomplete types. The
solution that makes most sense for C++ seems to be d-pointers.
