A more concrete objection here is the very much non-ideal juxtaposition of two different access modifier terms in the "@abiPublic internal" spelling. It would seem to me that "@abi" would suffice instead. Indeed, the fact that it's an "interface" implies a certain level of visibility, which in my view is more precise than coopting the term "public"--that term in turn has an established meaning in Swift that, by construction, an "@abiPublic internal" method does not fulfill.</div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div><div>I concur. If we don't care about its ungainly size, the blindingly obvious solution would be `@inlineCallable`. Another solution might be to declare the symbol with a combination like `@hidden public`, which I assume is a closer representation of how this feature is actually implemented.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>(Incidentally, the proposal doesn't mention `open`; I suspect that it probably should.)</div><br class=""><div class="">
