outside the module that declares it. The body is now visible across the module boundary. To contain the knowledge of the body inside the module, mark the function/predicate as 'protected'.
Semantics of 'protected':
* The definition (i.e., body) of a 'protected' function is not visible outside the defining module
* The idea is that inside the defining module, a 'protected' function may or may not be opaque. However, this will be easier to support once opaque/reveal are language primitives. Therefore, for the time being, {:opaque} is not allowed to be applied to 'protected' functions.
* In order to extend the definition of a predicate in a refinement module, the predicate must be 'protected'
* The 'protected' status of a function must be preserved in refinement modules
