Didn't like # for private fields #259

Private fields would be precious addition for JS. Leaving spec details to veterans, I didn't like # prefix for private fields. I suggest a keyword(why not "private") instead of prefix. IMO, prefix does not fit well for this task.

See the FAQ.

Thank you for FAQ, satifying explanation. I'd rather prefer "" but it is not accepted for this reason(Maybe some mode can be added like "use strict" directive): "We can't just change how works for web compatibility reasons."
