Three problems:
(1) If you do "#define private public" before including a header file,
then it affects every class in that header file.
(2) You can break SFINAE if a previously inaccessible method has
become accessible, or if a private constructor has become public.
(3) I don't know of any compiler on which it would cause an ABI break,
but maybe there is one out there that would change the mangling of the
name or the layout of the data members (or the order of function
pointers in the Vtable).
