Right now people are doing this with underscored methods and variable names but I don’t think that’s a good convention to use. We should have something at the language level that enforces that something shouldn’t be referenced by name outside of its scope, but is public for all compilation and ABI purposes.

> 3. Even though @inlinable will have no effect on declarations which are not public, we should still allow it to be placed there. That way when the access level is later changed to be public, the attribute is already where it should be. This is similar to why we permit, eg., members of an internal type to be declared public, which was discussed and decided previously on Swift Evolution.<br>
<br>
</span>This is an interesting point. Do you think the attribute should be completely ignored, or should the restrictions on references to non-public things, etc still be enforced?<br></blockquote></div></div></div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"></blockquote><div><br></div><div> Hmm, good question!</div><div><br></div><div>I rather like the idea Greg Parker put forth, where non-public @inlinable items can be used by public @inlinable ones, which implies that the restrictions should indeed still apply—something @inlinable can only reference public or @inlinable things.</div></div></div></div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><br></div><div>Nevin</div></div></div></div></div></div><span>
