Xcode 6.1.1: SourceKit treats public declarations as private

Product:Developer Tools Product Version:Xcode 6.1.1 (6A2008a)
Classification:Other Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
SourceKit incorrectly adds a `source.decl.attribute.private` attribute to public declarations.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Xcode with the environment variable `SOURCEKIT_LOGGING=3` (e.g. by launching from the command line with `export SOURCEKIT_LOGGING=3 && /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode`)
2. Open a Swift file with a declaration using the `public` access control modifier (e.g. the attached sourcekit_acl_bug.swift file)
3. Look at the SourceKit logs (you should see the attached sourcekit_acl_bug.json output in your SourceKit logs)

Expected Results:
public declarations should have an attribute of `source.decl.attribute.public`

Actual Results:
public declarations have an attribute of `source.decl.attribute.private`

Regression:
All versions of Xcode that I could test exhibit this behavior.

Notes:
This functionality would be very useful for 3rd parties integrating with SourceKit. For example, the jazzy documentation generator (https://github.com/realm/jazzy) has to rely on regular expressions to detect the access control level of declarations, which causes many mis-categorizations.

Comments

This is now fixed as of Xcode 6.3b1.
