P.S. I forgot one more point: As JVM/JIT guy I find the prospect of sealing
packages very appealing. Maybe it's a false promise, but it would be a
home run if we could reliably seal sub-assemblies for tree-shaking AOT
compilation. Doing this requires pretty strong assurances that the AOT
engine can enumerate all uses of a "public" class. Doesn't this use case
interfere with the proposed principle that "public always means global"?
Again, it's a tug-of-war between the class author and an assembly-time
operation.
