Proposal: Private modules (general discussion)

Now after some moment of thinkings, this private module proposal made me (and my friend) to rethink “among 18 modules that we got here, which one should go public for other developers to reuse? Should they be reusable? ”. This in turn raise a question to me, which module should go public and reusable, which module should be private.

That’s exactly the productive thoughts such language features are supposed to provoke!

It’s OK to have a lot of internal modules that deal with various aspects of something big and ugly. They usually have to be private – and this proposal will still allow you to test them. But they usually shouldn’t be exposed as a public API inside your project.
