Making it private doesn't help there; it still works if it is public:
----------------------------

You're assuming that public is the default, as with a normal method
definition.  Perhaps, in this case, the default was "as limited as
possible", so they made it private because in the cases shown (the most
common cases) private worked just fine.

Out of curiosity, what is it you are trying to do?  Why does it need to be a
module function?
