`intrafile` and `intramodule` sound esoteric to me.

I like these ones better:

public
moduleonly
fileonly
private//aka, scopeonly? unfortunate that this isn’t automatically clear 



Tino’s suggestion is also interesting:

visible(public)
visible(module)
visible(file)
visible(scope)
visible(file, ModuleA, File.swift)

But I think the paren syntax suggested earlier is equivalent, and would be the clearest to both experienced and beginning developers:

public
private(module)
private(file)
private(scope)

If parens are a no-go, perhaps the following could work:

public
privatetomodule
privatetofile
privatetoscope

I’m not a huge fan of `fileprivate` or `moduleprivate`, because they seem like strange non-words.
