We didn't want to touch module re-exports until that proposal came up later.  This is a fantastic idea that we have plans to incorporate in there nonetheless.  This distinction is far more powerful than our current approach of just opening every module that gets imported into the top level namespace.

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Now, is there a reason to consider any of this before Swift 3's timeframe? Isn't this all additive?

In any case then, I'll hold that proposal back until Swift 3's scope has been fixed.
