Of course, the public module Game shall export the Game type from 
Private.Game and so on. That is from the perspective of the Game package 
user, the Game type and related functions can be imported from the same 
module. The inconvenience of defining the Game type and its functions in 
distinct modules exists only for corentin.dupont but not for the user of 
his library.
