Idea: Borrowck Transparent Function Calls

To be clear, I'm not saying it's the right solution. I'm saying it's worth considering.
My first instinct is that we should use the same named-subsets mechanism for both private and public functions. But for private helper functions, automatically detecting which subsets they use would not necessarily be a maintenance hazard. Hence, worth considering, and evaluating the trade-offs.
