    Given section 3.4 of the F# 2.0 spec:

    Identifiers follow the specification below. Any sequence of characters that is enclosed in double-backtick marks (“ “), excluding newlines, tabs, and double-backtick pairs themselves, is treated as an identifier.

    I suspect you can put it in backticks:

    ``private``

    I haven’t tried it though.
