Access righs to class/struct members

[freedxmgxd]

Since the choice to make the members of a class public by default, I still think about a new keyword access right and design to Class. Since are often used getters to make private members readable, I starting to think about a "read" keyword to make some members only readable by external access.
We can have something like :
class NewClass{ private var private_member: String; read var only_readable_member: String; var public_member: String; }

In this way dispense the necessity to declare a whole new method getter to make a parameter only readable by external access.

This seems a little over-engineering to me. While I definitely see the use in such a keyword, writing getters is fairly trivial.

I dunno how much cost was to implement this, even in the compiler time, then the engineering necessary to this, but access rights similar to file-system permission seems good to me.

The "properties" feature in Swift and other languages might be a good point of comparison here.
