For a fair comparison on `pub(crate)` versus `pub` usage, turn on `#![warn(unreachable_pub)]` and fix all of those warnings to be `pub(crate)`.

I am on the side of `crate fn` being a good thing – a `fn` for this `crate` – because it creates a much clearer distinction between `pub`-to-the-world and `pub`-internally.
