Aw, its kind of annoying. Two or three extra keywords might
fix 95% of cases:
let private x = ...
Just don't put x in the interface
type abstract x = ..
put x in the interface as
type x
Now you may need an mli in the unusual case a function of type
A -> B
is constrained to type
C -> D
in the module and to type
E -> F
in the interface. Explicit interfaces are of course still needed
for more complex constraints.
