> Currently all the C++ functions with [[Rcpp::export]] tag are exposed to me by `devtools::load_all()` in the dev process. But some of them are only useful in other functions and undesired in the interactive environment. So I wondered if by any chance it is possible to control the level of exposure. It is not a big problem. Good to know the answer is no.

The "level of exposure" is controlled by the NAMESPACE in a package,
not by Rcpp. And in this case, by devtools. This is what I got from
the function's help:

export_all     If TRUE (the default), export all objects. If FALSE,
export only the objects that are listed as exports in the NAMESPACE
file.
