1"""Core privacy analysis for automatic function privacy detection.
3This module provides functionality to detect functions that should be private
4by analyzing their usage patterns within a project. It uses AST analysis to
5find function references and cross-module analysis to determine if functions
6are used externally.
8Part of the refactoring described in GitHub Issue #32.
