	i think search could narrow down scope automatically.
	that is, when you're searching for method refs and the method is private, them no matter how big the scope 
	really is, the only matches that can be found are in the file that declares that method. 
	same for deafult visibility.
	
	this, naturally, applies only to IJavaElement search.

Good idea.

Actually, I take this one back. Source with visibility errors could cause 
private methods to be accessed outside the proper context.

Should close.

In 205, a reference to a field/method with visibility problem is reported as 
inaccurate. In > 205, it will be accurate.

Closing.
