I might be in the minority, but I would much appreciate it if whos() filtered out Module types by default. After starting julia and loading my code this is what I see:

julia> whos()
@run                          Function
ArrayViews                    Module

It would be nice to only keep track of the variables/functions/types that I created. Modules could still be visible with names(Main) or maybe whos(mods=true).

I think #17997 will address this particular example.

This specific example is fixed, and in general I think we should avoid polluting Main instead of filtering whos.
