There is no new modifier for class/field/method declarations, but the 
effect of 'exports' in a module declaration is to limit the 
accessibility of 'public' class/field/method declarations. You also 
mentioned visibility, but that's a separate topic related to class 
loaders. Suggest you watch my "Project Jigsaw: Under the Hood" video 
linked from the Jigsaw project page.
