Rust complains about "private type in public interface" even though the type and interface are both aliases.

[jmegaffin]

use core::nonzero::NonZero;
use std::os::raw::c_void;

type Foo = NonZero<*const c_void>;

// warning: private type in public interface
pub type Bar = Foo;
// warning: private type in public interface
pub type Baz = Foo;

I also tried pub useing NonZero and c_void but that didn't help, so it's not the types themselves that are the problem. It seems bizarre that Rust would complain about this behaviour when, for example, error messages are unaware of aliases. Even if they were, it would be trivial to resolve private aliases to the public types they are defined as, so I can't see the utility of disallowing this.

There's an issue about this (#30503) and a PR fixing this (#34193).
This could be implemented more than half a year ago, it's just decision making is sometimes super slow for secondary non-prioritized features.
