Clearer handling of visibility

[tmssngr]

What I don't like about Go is that it abuses the case of the first letter for visibility: if I want to change the visibility of some function/variable/struct, I want to do that an one place, not everywhere where it already is used.

Currently, it requires to use Upper case for accessing public Go elements, e.g. fmt.Println or strings.Buffer. Could it be changed that way, that one could write fmt.println and the compiler will that transpile to fmt.Println because it knows it must be public?

Lis decouples casing and visibility precisely because it shares your concern.

But rewriting foreign identifiers is a step too far, because of loss of familiarity (uncanniness) and muscle memory for Go users, departure from official spelling in stdlib and third-party libs throughout the Go ecosystem, lossy mapping (e.g. initialisms), lack of uniformity as Lis types are PascalCased themselves, codegen and name resolution complexity, etc.
