Private parts are a kludge.  I don't think they should exist.
And if they do exist, they should not be syntactically attached
to the visible part -- they should normally be stored in a
separate source file.

The "disturbing" thing you mention is not specific to protected
types -- the same problem occurs if you have a package nested
within the visible part of another package.
