Title: added ability to show private properties with a configuration setting

I love this project! I look at a var_dump() of something or other on a daily basis, and the output from ref is so much nicer. However, var_dump() displays private properties and many times this is where the important information I'm looking for lives. So I added the option to show private properties to ref. It's off by default.

ref::config('showPrivateProperties', true);
