[Pre-Pitch] Import access control: a modest proposal

I’ve been thinking about the whole import reform saga – now approaching its fourth year of idling in the forums – in light of the recent stability kerfuffle. If we aren’t likely to see movement on this soon, would it be reasonable to pitch de-underscoring @_exported and @_implementationOnly in the interim? Keeping them “unsupported” because we’re waiting to fulfill Jordan’s vision of a comprehensive rethink of imports is a clear example of letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
