I think that the folder metaphor is better left as an arbitrary
grouping technique than as an implicit specification of class access
rights. I would much rather that the access be explicitly declared.

I agree with Steve that packages would be a great addition to Rb, especially if you could have an external package (the same way you can have an external class right now).

But... I also agree with Lars that the folder mechanism is best left as an organizational tool.
