If you have in Test.hx

abstract Test(_Test) {
    public static var a = 2;
}
class _Test {}

You"ll get the error message:

Test.hx:1: lines 1-4 : This private class name will clash with _Test

which isn"t very explicit.

Also doesn"t happen if the abstract isn"t the main type of the module.

Looks fairly explicit to me, except that it says "class" instead of "type". What else would you want it to say?

The non explicit part is that the private _Test isn"t in the file but added by the compiler.
If possible it"d be best if the compiler could choose something free.
Otherwise the error message should say something about _Test being reserved.
