accesses in two cases:

1. If an item is public, then it can be accessed externally from some module
`m` if you can access all the item's parent modules from `m`. You can
`m` if you can access all the item's ancestor modules from `m`. You can
also potentially be able to name the item through re-exports. See below.
2. If an item is private, it may be accessed by the current module and its
descendants.

visible only within a given scope. The rules for `pub` restrictions are as
follows:
- `pub(in path)` makes an item visible within the provided `path`. `path` must
be a parent module of the item whose visibility is being declared.
be an ancestor module of the item whose visibility is being declared.
- `pub(crate)` makes an item visible within the current crate.
- `pub(super)` makes an item visible to the parent module. This is equivalent
to `pub(in super)`.
