Research direction

Start with the syntax example in this issue and the proposal's stated goal of allowing trusted code outside a class lexical scope to access private state. The issue does not define the suggested keyword, intended semantics, or implementation entry points. Done would require an agreed alternative syntax and clarified behavior before implementation.
