Private appears to be broken. Can you submit this as a bug  
please?

Subject: [Ironruby-core] class question.

Please bear with me if it isalready discussed; I am running the  
following code  
class Tester  
def sayHello  
hi  
puts “I am saying hello”  
end

```
private
def hi
   puts "Did I say hi?"
end

private :hi #doube checking private

```

end

p = Tester.new  
p.hi  
p.sayHello

As per ruby, it should fail but Ironruby runs through without any error.  
I amgoing through the code to see where it is performed.

Thanks.
