Why functions in kotlin stdlib are explicitly public?

[Alexander Levin]

I guess it's related to coding conventions for libraries:

Always explicitly specify member visibility (to avoid accidentally exposing declarations as public API)

It was rumored there would eventually be a compiler mode to enforce this, but no sign of it yet. I very much am against public-by-default so I really want it.

I was wondering if there were plans to make public mean something like “published”.
