So, we're talking about a library using CheckedInt. If the 
library selectively imports anything from CheckedInt at 
module-level, it'll always be public due to a bug.

This is trivial to work around. Often the import can be nested, 
and when it can't, a static import or renamed module import can 
be used to resolve conflicts.

It's not a big deal.
