Scope of anonymous class methods are not consistent

[zsxwing]

Methods in an anonymous class don't have consistent scope. In the following example, bar in foo is private, but in foo2, adding a temp variable will make it public.

Welcome to Scala 2.12.1 (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.8.0_45).
Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.

scala> :paste
// Entering paste mode (ctrl-D to finish)

class A {}
def foo: A = new A { def bar(): Unit = {} }
def foo2: A = { 
  val temp = new A { def bar(): Unit = {} }
  temp
}

// Exiting paste mode, now interpreting.

defined class A
foo: A
foo2: A

scala> foo.getClass.getDeclaredMethods().filter(_.getName == "bar").toList
res0: List[java.lang.reflect.Method] = List(private void $anon$1.bar())

scala> foo2.getClass.getDeclaredMethods().filter(_.getName == "bar").toList
res1: List[java.lang.reflect.Method] = List(public void $anon$2.bar())

This is pretty annoying when trying to call bar using reflection. I expect in this example, bar should be public.
