[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0159: Fix Private Access Levels

[Ian Keen]

I missed the other code based modules conversation floating around... this would also be a much better solution imo - dropping fileprivate and having modules with open/public/internal/private seems like it would cover everything one might need without being bound to something like a physical file..

We would have 'internal' types that can live in their own files but would be invisible to the consumer of the module/framework.
