-@ngdoc error
-@name $parse:isecprv
-@fullName Referencing private Field in Expression
-
-@description
-
-Occurs when an Angular expression attempts to access a private field.
-
-Fields with names that begin or end with an underscore are considered
-private fields. Angular expressions are not allowed to reference such
-fields on the scope chain. This only applies to Angular expressions
-(e.g. {{ }} interpolation and calls to `$parse` with a string expression
-argument) – Javascript itself has no such notion.
-
-To resolve this error, use an alternate non-private field if available
-or make the field public (by removing any leading and trailing
-underscore characters from its name.)
-
-Example expression that would result in this error:
-
-```html
-
{{user._private_field}}
-```
-
-Background:
-Though Angular expressions are written and controlled by the developer
-and are trusted, they do represent an attack surface due to the
-following two factors:
-
-- they typically deal with user input which is generally high risk
-- they often don't get the kind of attention and test coverage that
- JavaScript code would.
-
-If these expression were evaluated in a context with full trust, an
-attacker, though unable to change the expression itself, can feed it
-unexpected and dangerous input that could result in a security
-breach/exploit.
-
-As such, Angular expressions are evaluated in a limited context. They
-do not have direct access to the global scope, Window, Document, the
-Function constructor or "private" properties (names beginning or ending
-with an underscore character) on the scope chain. They should get their
-work done via public properties and methods exposed on the scope chain
-(keep in mind that this includes controllers as well as they are
-published on the scope via the "controller as" syntax.)
-
-As a best practise, only "publish" properties on the scopes and
-controllers that must be available to Angular expressions. All other
-members should either be in closures or be "private" by giving them
-names with a leading or trailing underscore character.

// Angular expressions are generally considered safe because these expressions only have direct
// access to $scope and locals. However, one can obtain the ability to execute arbitrary JS code by

// We want to prevent this type of access. For the sake of performance, during the lexing phase we
-// disallow any "dotted" access to any member named "constructor" or to any member whose name begins
-// or ends with an underscore. The latter allows one to exclude the private / JavaScript only API
