[Interest] Q_ENUM doesn't work for private enums

[Tom Isaacson]

I'm using Qt 5.6 in Visual Studio 2017. I've got a class that looks like:
class tClass : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

private:
    enum class eMode
    {
        Mode1,
        Mode2,
        Mode3
    };

When I add:
    Q_ENUM(eMode)
after the enum declaration I get an error:
moc_tclass.cpp(): error C2248: 'tClass::eMode': cannot access private enum declared in class 'tClass'
tclass.h(348): note: see declaration of 'tClass:: eMode'
tclass.h(): note: see declaration of 'tClass

Is this a known limitation of Q_ENUM? Is it fixed in later versions of Qt?

Thanks.
