That is like saying anyone that has rights to call a web service should be
able to see the source code for it.  There should be the ability to create
some level of abstraction when appropriate.

However, in the current configuration, all users with permission to log in
can see all source code.  They don't have rights to execute the functions
but they can see the source code for them.  Shouldn't I be able to revoke
both the ability to execute and the ability to see functions?
