Value classes introduce unwanted public methods

Question

Looking at some scala-docs of my libraries, it appeared to me that there is some unwanted noise from value classes. For example:

implicit class RichInt(val i: In         


        

Answer 1

In Scala 2.11 you can make the val private, which fixes this issue:

implicit class RichInt(private val i: Int) extends AnyVal {
  def squared = i * i
}
