The story is a bit more complex though.  Public and NonPublic are
pretty broad flags with little precision.

What you want to do is keep the Public | NonPublic state, but later
check manually if you are dealing with a MethodInfo, and if you are, then do:

	MethodAttributes ma = method_info.Attributes & MethodAttributes.MemberAccessMask;

And then do:

	if (ma == MethodAttributes.Family ||
	    ma == MethodAttributes.FamOrAssem ||
	    ma == MethodAttributes.Public)

		.. its public.
