So it looks there's no obvious and obviously good solution. Probably

One solution that has been proposed here (by Manu and perhaps others) is
that the outlined functions can only appear inside the same module that
the declaration is in.
This would resolve the private access problem and the modularity problem.
It also reduces the motivation for the thing as it becomes a minor
convenience.
