Research direction
Investigate how public APIs are enforced in the Gleam compiler. Look for existing deprecation warnings or module visibility checks. The goal is to emit a warning when a deprecated or internal module's main function is executed. Focus on the compiler's code generation or analysis phase, possibly in 'src/analyse.rs' or similar files. Review any linked issues or comments for implementation details.
