Correctly mark all symbols as `public` or not

[LilithHafner]

#50105 added a preliminary list of symbols to be marked as public from Base. We should finalize that list for Base, stdlibs, and submodules before 1.11.

### Tasks
- [x] Base
- [ ] Submodules of Base
- [ ] Stdlibs
- [ ] A final review to make sure we're not marking anything as pubic that we don't want to

is this issue solved or can i help?

[LilithHafner]

This issue is very much not solved, and we would appreciate your help!

Any symbol that is mentioned in the manual in Julia 1.9 or 1.10 and is not exported should be marked as public with public that_symbol. If you want to help, you can look through submodules of Base and/or standard libraries to find these symbols and mark them as public. Ideally, you would find many symbols and mark them all as public in a single PR so discussion can be more effective. In some cases it might not be clear whether or not a symbol is supposed to be public, feel free to take a guess and mention that you are unsure and other folks can weigh in with their opinions.

[adityam003]

Can you explain me bit more specifically about how should i approach this.

[LilithHafner]

You could install Julia 1.11 (download the nightly or build from source) and then run names(Base.Iterators, all=true) or using Random; names(Random, all = true) or the same for any module. That will give a list of symbols. If you then run names(Base.iterators), that will give a list of public symbols. If you find things in the longer list that are explicitly mentioned the online manual, then they should probably also be in the shorter list and you can open a PR to mark them as public.

so should i download all the dependencies for building julia or can i just clone it in my local machine and run for this task

[LilithHafner]

Ideally, this should work:

$ git clone https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia
$ cd julia
$ make
... wait a long time ...
$ ./julia

If you try this and get an error and you are running on a mainstream OS, let us know, because that's probably a bug on our end.

[adityam003]

make doesnt work for windows

[LilithHafner]

Ah, right. Windows. The steps for building from source are a bit more complicated: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/devdocs/build/windows/#Source-distribution

You don't have to build from source to contribute, but it can be very helpful in testing your PRs.

Base.include is documented in the manual and referred to from other help sections, so it seems like it's part of the public interface. The REPL help, however, says: "The following bindings may be internal; [...]"

[LilithHafner]

How is this possible lol

julia> Base.include === include
false

[vtjnash]

Every module has an include function that is private to that module
