Deprecation [Re: Private goals?]

[Ben Walding <de...@walding.com>]

Might it be worthwhile to add another attribute to goals - scope = 
"private" | "public"

If a goal is private, only targets in the same script can call it.

Then for b9 this is deprecated behaviour - just warn when you call 
private goals.
b10 we stop that all together.

The main idea being that we stop people calling all the internal 
interfaces inside plugins?
