How to restrict access to nested class member to enclosing class?

Actually there is a complete and simple solution to this problem that doesn’t involve modifying the client code or creating an interface.

  public class JournalEntry
  {
    static JournalEntry()
    {
      _newJournalEntry = value => new JournalEntry(value);
    }
    private JournalEntry(object value)
    {
      ...
