I'm with you here too. I'm not opposed to it but it strikes me as being hypertechnical and unnecessarily verbose. 

It's also not symmetrical: where is modulepublic and filepublic? Those don't make sense? Then module and file stand on their own if private is implied (you know people will wonder when they see moduleprivate if a public one exists)
