I'm really happy to see this discussed.
The DIP misses to mention one of the most important rationale IMO,
hiding of implementation details.

I think this is problematic because it gives up the nice
everything-within-this-file property of private.
Doesn't package access mitigate the need for private access?
What about module scope functions?
