Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 the Revealing Module Pattern is one of the only ways to actually make
 methods actually private, would also delete the need for dangling _, which
 every linter complains about - otherwise, nothing stops API._imPrivate
 from being called, this would:

 {{{
 var JS_Class = (function () {
     function privateFunc() {}

     function publicFunc() {
          privateFunc();
     }

     return {
         publicFunc : publicFunc
     };
 }());
 }}}
 OR
 {{{
 (function () {
   function unreachable() {

   }

   function JS_Class() {
     function whatever() {
        unreachable();
     }
   }

   window.JS_Class = JS_Class;
 }());
 }}}
 OR
 {{{
 var JS_Class = (function () {
     function privateFunc() {}
     return {
          publicFunc : function () {
               if (window.authorized)
                   privateFunc();

                doOtherstuff();
          }
     }
 }());
 }}}

 I think it is a little absurd that a rewrite is even being entertained
 during RC.
