Using 'private' for that would be a bit confusing, since
it wouldn't mean the same thing as 'not public'. In Pyrex,
'public' is currently used to mean 'exported in a .h file'.

Also keep in mind that cimporting a type into another
Pyrex module currently requires it to be in the module dict.
So a 'private' type in this sense would not only be
hidden from Python but from other Pyrex modules as well.
