Protected means callable from the class itself or a subclass; private speciefies
callable from the class only.
Methods may also use the "public" keyword, but methods are public by default.
Instance variables are private by default; a public or protected designation
autogenerates an accessor (get) method
which has the same name as the variable and returns its value. Mutator (set)
methods must be coded explicitly. So
the above declaration is sytactic sugar for:
integer locked
method integer locked }}}
