Actually it is only a synonym for:

struct { private: 

You can easiely do a:

s/class(.*)\{/struct\1\{private\:/g

and your programm will work just the same. {Ok, the regular expression is
not perfect as they could be CR/LF in the source as well - is't just a
quick example}

"class" is just syntactic sugar, and a great marketing ploy.
