Some terminology: Qualified access: like Module.name, e.g. DataFrames.VERSION non-owning: VERSION is defined in Base, not in DataFrames non-public: VERSION is not marked public in DataFrames (it is public in Base) So on Julia 1.12, we get: julia> DataFrames.VERSION [ Warning: VERSION is defined …

FYI: Julia 1.12's REPL warns on non-owning, non-public qualified accesses
