Description

example

If an item in a hidden module is reexported, it will be automatically inlined, but if the item itself is hidden (and in a non-hidden module), it will show as a regular reexport, with a link to a normally hidden page.

This also makes the item not show in the "all items" list, despite being publicly reachable.
