Why do the example use struct instead of class? i.e.

struct MyAppWindow : TopWindow {

    virtual void Paint(Draw& w) {

        w.DrawRect(GetSize(), SWhite);

        w.DrawText(20, 20, "Hello world!", Arial(30), Magenta);

    }

    

    MyAppWindow() {

        Title("My application").Zoomable().Sizeable();

    }

};

Because I am lazy to write "public" for "final use" classes:)

I mean, access control is important for reusable classes. But if I am writing concrete app, I usually do not bother using access control as chances that class is going to be reused by other code is nil.
