Hello list,
Currently Rust has different default visibilities in different places:
- `mod` items are private
- `struct` fields and `enum` variants are public
- `trait` methods are public
- `impl` methods are private
- `impls for` are public (by necessity)
I propose to change this to:
-
Hi,
I have a strong point against it: your crates are going to be christmas
trees of exposed APIs unless you are careful. This has a runtime cost,
increases the risk of breaking the ABI more often than you should, and
often results in unintentional APIs that you may be later beholden to
maintain.

Maybe I'm unusual. But in C++ I'm always super-careful (one might say anal
retentive) about keeping my headers as clean of implementation details as
humanly possible. I don't think forgetting a `priv` would ever be an issue.
But I'm not everyone.
