Description
This would probably involve extending the SemanticTokenModifiers to include an exported enum value, but ideally should reflect in the hierarchy view too.
This allows the kind of effect shown in this snapshot of a competing IDE, where the lock/unlock symbol is shown based on whether the function is exported or not.

Research direction
Start by locating the SemanticTokenModifiers definition and the code responsible for the hierarchy view. Review how exported and non-exported symbols are currently represented, then compare the desired lock/unlock behavior with the linked screenshot. Done means the protocol supports an exported modifier and the hierarchy view reflects whether an item is exported.
