Turns out CameraManager::Private is actually explicitly excluded at the symbol level in 
Documentation/Doxyfile.in, so that's why. So; probably unecessary to flag these...but perhaps for 
consistency's sake it's best to follow the rule that any public class deriving a private from 
::Extensible needs flagging.
