Can't you can fix that by:

module xx : sig .. end = struct
..
end include xx

That way all the symbols you want are in the .ml
file.

However this isn't really the same as

private val f: int -> int
let f x = ..

which can be done by:

let f (x:int):int = ..

the problem being it is invasive (you have to
edit the function decl instead of writing a 
separate type decl).
