Hard agree. Is retrospect I think the model of Delphi, where you must assemble `manually` a `pkg` so you can export to the world should have been used instead.

It also have solved the problem where you ended doing a lot of `public` not because the logic dictated it, but as only way to share across crates.

It should have been all modules (even main.rs with mandatory `lib.rs` or whatever) and `crate` should have been a re-exported interface.

Very very old Rust had "crate files" which were this https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/a8eeec1dbd7e06bc811e5...

.rc standing for "rust crate"

There's pros and cons here. I'm of two minds.
