Sure. It is a private field(no pub) preventing you from constructing that type with a literal. It is of type "unit" '()' so it does not add up space for the type. "unit" has only one value that makes it "zero-sized". because i did not supply an "constructor" to that type it is not constructable outside the module and can only created by types in the scope of the enclosing module. Its more or less a private constructor known in C++/Java ... etc.
