Emacs already contains a feature that filters out many defined
functions from M-x. It’s called (interactive). Functions that are not
declared interactive are not offered as completion candidates, and in
fact cannot be executed with M-x.

This proposal takes (interactive) to a new level, by allowing authors
to specify conditions under which a function should be considered
interactive.

True, some authors will get it wrong and specify too strict
conditions. They will eventually be fixed. Also, M-: is still there as
an escape hatch.
