The same applies on re-exports themselves: if you have multiple re-exports and some of them have
However, if you still want the re-export itself to be visible, you can add the `#[doc(inline)]`

```rust,ignore (inline)
// This struct won't be visible.
#[doc(hidden)]
pub struct Hidden;

#[doc(inline)]
pub use self::Hidden as InlinedHidden;
```

`#[doc(hidden)]`, then these ones (and only these) won't appear in the documentation:

```rust,ignore (inline)
