What is the difference between these two? Sealed means closed or unable to

is a concealed module? I keep seeing "concealed" in commits and just wonder
if that's a typo or a new feature.
In a module then the packages that aren't exported are known as
concealed packages. If you look at the ModuleDescriptor API then you see
it defines methods to get the set of the exported packages, concealed
packages or all packages.
There isn't really any connection to the legacy notion of sealed
packages except to say that packages in named modules are inherently sealed.
