Private class members show up in d.ts files.

[dbaeumer]

TypeScript Version: 1.8.x
Code

export class CancellationTokenSource {

    private _token: CancellationToken;

    get token(): CancellationToken {
            ....
    }
}

The generated d.ts file looks like this:

export declare class CancellationTokenSource {
    private _token;
    token: CancellationToken;
}

The d.ts file shouldn't list private _token;

Yes it should, because if the class is used an extension the private member is still there, since private is really just a run-time convention. How would someone consuming the typings know that they had a property name conflict that would lead to undesirable behaviour?

See #1867 as well.

Closing since the explanation makes sense to me.
