That's not quite true - private items are not exported. See https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=5917d9c29d6ac204394b33a806e2bbb9 |

| This re‑exports all items from a module that are already marked `pub`, while excluding private helpers. It balances ergonomics (no need to maintain huge allowlists) with safety (no accidental leakage of private items). |

Isn't this how glob exports already work? In addition to @Diggsey s example, using pub(super) isn't exported either.
Do you have example code of something that is exported by globa today that wouldn't be exported with pub *?
