I'm not sure whether I'm misunderstanding or we're talking past each other.

Let me state this really simply. You have some code in a top-level module, `MyMod`:

	import MyMod.Submodule
	
	func foo() {
		bar()
	}

And you have some other code in a submodule:

	module Submodule {
		??? func bar() {
			baz()
		}
	}

And then—perhaps in a separate file—you have some other code in an extension of the submodule:

	extension Submodule {		
		??? func baz() {
			…
		}
	}

What access modifiers do I put on `bar()` and `baz()` so that `MyMod` can access `bar()` but not `baz()`, and code outside `MyMod` can access neither `bar()` nor `baz()`?
