Before I start complaining: very big thank you for adding support for libraries. I understand perfectly it is a preview, a version 1.0 That being said…

In short, a library contains one class to be exposed and a few helper classes. Did not find a way to hide those helper classes included in the library.

I tried using a module, which allow to define the scope of included items, but found issues I described in the feedback case. The case contains a link to the GitHub project and the name of the branch.

Thanks,

You can use the Hidden Attribute for classes or anything else and then these things won’t shown in Autocomplete.

Thanks. This addresses the symptoms. But shouldn’t we expect that the compiler and IDE behave in a consistent way when a method is private to a class or an item is private to a module ?
