The @public decorator is basically:
def public(fn):
__all__.append(fn.__name__)
return fn
It's trivial, but it adds a runtime overhead that is also trivially avoided by
putting the name in __all__ manually. And once it's public API, we shouldn't be
making it too easy to rename the function anyway ;)
The run-time overhead added by executing @public is trivially trivial. ;) But
your argument about the too-easy change of a public API strikes home.
I think a safer @public would be one that verifies the function is in `__all__`
and raises if it is not.
