Closed namespaces: does Rust allow "closing" a namespace? #30

I'm not sure about closing a namespace, but rust modules, functions, objects, etc are private by default and need to be given the pub keyword to give visibility to other modules.

I believe this means the namespace is closed by default? But not entirely sure. If so, then this can be categorized as virtually impossible in safe rust OR opt in since a developer could make everything public.
