//! Visibility is generic: the [`Visibility`] trait is the data a definition
//! carries to describe who may reference it, plus a single behaviour method,
//! [`Visibility::is_visible_from`], that decides reachability. Languages that
//! need richer access control (`pub(crate)`, `protected`, region-scoped
//! privacy) implement their own visibility type; [`SymbolVisibility`] is the
//! built-in default for simple public/private languages.
