I voted "no" because to me this closes extensibility in a hard way. If users are fine ignoring an "@internal" annotation, or using reflection to access private symbols, then I think that's fine: their problem; they know why they need to do so - not authors. Allowing authors to forcibly remove that capability from users is going too deep into removing power from users.. Said another way, I don't think this solves any problem that authors face in practice. As such I don't think this is worth the added language complexity + removal of power. Cheers, Nicolas
