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.
