For others, there was some previous discussion[1] about it on the list when Bram asked for opinions. My recollection is that both you and he were in favour of the "_" prefix for call-site identification purposes? My personal preference would be for the modifier keyword with a symmetric, even if possibly redundant, "public". I think this is justifiable on the grounds of it meeting the "less weird" requirement for Vim9 script. While I'm sure there are others, JavaScript is the only language I can think of off the top of my head that defaults to public and uses a sigil for private access.
