Just out of curiosity I came up with the following result (which basically confirms what we have seen so far) when googling with "#define private public" (and it really seems that there are indeed people out there using that construct - ouch ;):

By the way, the C++ guru from which I have this "dirty trick" is indeed "Repräsentant der Schweiz bei der ISO für die Standardisierung von C++" (representative of Switzerland for the ISO for the C++ standardisation) ;)
