"Private" controller functions

[Markus Gritsch]

Hi,

currently all functions in a controller are exposed. How about only
exposing a functions if its name does not start with an underscore, or
does not start with two underscores?

Functions that take arguments are not exposed.

As of 2016, here's some info from https://web2py.wordpress.com/tag/private-function/:

• Making a private function is easy in web2py :

• Functions defined in a model are private.
• Functions that are defined in controllers and that takes arguments are private.
• Functions defined in controllers and start with ‘__’ [double underscores] are private.
  But functions starting with single ‘_’ are not private and they should not be because some people use them for an ajax callback.

• Functions defined in controllers and having a space after the () and before the ‘:’ are private.
  ex:

  1 2	def pri_action() : # do some thing
