On the one hand, the fix is a technical improvement because it means that implementations will consistently find the declaration and bark about it being explicitly deleted. On the other hand, the fixit suggests code that should never pass a reasonable code review.

I am guessing that at some point we will have a refactoring tool that can help without resorting to making declarations like `public: C() = delete; private:`.

Generally, no. Incremental improvements are almost always fine. However, the user is asking to have their code modernized, and the fixit results in code that looks more foreign than modern (at least, to me).

I won't block the patch moving forward regardless of whether the fixit is in or out, but I am curious if @alexfh has an opinion, or if you have a strong preference one way or the other.
