In my language Kogut the default everywhere (modules, objects) is
public. I don't care what information hiding extremists would say.
It's not painful if the default is public :-)
There are definitions to override this:
private {definitions}
public {definitions}
private => definitions
public => definitions
patterns:
private pattern
public pattern
names:
private name
public name
or alternatively Haskell-style module headers.
There is also 'use' (Haskell's 'import') and 'reexport' (Haskell's
'import' but imported names are made public).
I found myself using primarily 'private' on individual names,
or module headers if the module export list is very short,
or rarely 'private' over a region of definitions.
