[Haskell-cafe] Hide internal modules but expose them for testing

[Alexander V Vershilov]

Hello Georgi,

while I prefer Internal convention and expose everything, and would
advice that as a way forward,
your use case is supported by Cabal. There is a way to define an
internal/sublibrary that is
visible in the package but not exposed outside. You can find relevant
documentation with examples
in Cabal docs:
