Even if it is technically feasible it will add additional complexity and it may make things actually unnecessary complex - especially if you start thinking about how super and sub classes should be handled in this case. Current checks are simpler because "self" is the only instance which is allowed to invoke protected methods and private methods must only be invoked without explicit receiver. > Then again, maybe there is a technical reason why those privileges > couldn't be given and I'm just not seeing it. Since I am not Matz I cannot answer this definitively. My assumption of possible reasons - encapsulation at the object level, since class != any of its instances it is external to the object and giving it privileged access will break that rule (you then could also ask for instance.@foo = 123, i.e. easy access to instance variables - added complexity (cost in development, maintenance, runtime performance) - there is a solution (use #send) - too low benefit given items above I think Matz just did not want to encourage people writing code manipulating an instance in other classes.
