protected	call within package, and subclasses only.
private	call from this instance only.
Other Modifiers
static	call without instantiating object
final	value is not allowed to be modified, or overridden.
abstract	?
transient	attrs/methods will be skipped during serialization.
synchronized	method may only be accessed by one thread at a time.
volatile	?

class MyClass {
    // modifier  type  method-name
    public String[] list_members() {
        return {"alex", "courtney", "sam"};
    }
}
