(1) Indicates to the user of the code that it's not smart to make
assumptions
regarding the internal organization of the type

(2) We have a tool that takes Ada code and inserts it into documentation
developing using the Interleaf document processor. It makes keywords
bold,
and all of that, and it also has an option to suppress listing the
information
in the private section. So, if we don't want details to appear in our
user documentation, we put it in the private section.
