[swift-evolution] [Proposal][Discussion] Modular Swift

[Robert Widmann]

Sorry, been replying to multiple sub-threads today.


For bar(), because you wish to be able to 

1) Not export it across the outermost module boundary
2) But still use it internally

Internal access is required.  Any higher and you would export (violating 1), any lower and you wouldn’t be able to internally import (violating 2).

For baz(), because you wish to be able to

1) Not export it across the outermost module boundary, 
2) Or even your own internal submodule boundary

Private or fileprivate suffices depending on the scoping you wish for it to have within the file/interface it’s a part of relative to the other APIs in the submodule.
