Which packages are exported?

[Jonathan Gibbons]

I guess there's two aspects to this discussion:

1. The packages listed in the summary page for a module.

For this, my expectation is that it may be more significant than just a 
CSS style.

For example, one possibility is that the packages could be listed in a 
table with different "tabs" for exported/non-exported packages, similar 
to the "table with tabs" used to show different subsets of methods, such 
as here:
http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html

2. Other appearances of a package name.

Here, we would have to list the various places where a package name 
could appear, and decide which if any should be subject to special CSS 
styling.  It has been instructive in the design to look at the 
relationship between types and packages to find a precedent for the 
relationship between packages and modules.  For example, I note there is 
no special styling for package-private types compared to public types.
