The point was just to support Paul Rankin's position that a '--'
substring isn't a reliable determinant of a function's public/private
nature, so can't be used as an alternative to an explicit (optional)
declaration.
My concern isn't the declaration, but the scope of its consequences. For
example, an emacs user who does no elisp programming would be happy to
have no private variable/function results appear among completion
candidates when performing M-x describe-variable/function. Elisp
programmers would want those completion candidates exposed, and subject
to being extended/advised.
