package access modifier?

[Brian Goetz]

Back at the last EG meeting, we discussed how in theory we would prefer to have a full set of accessibilities for interface methods, and that would require this little bit of syntax.  The lack of this little bit of syntax is also a persistent annoyance to some people.  However, since it is looking like even private methods may not make the train, this is certainly a dispensible feature for 8, and not doing it now does not foreclose on doing it later.
