-`fish` does not have private functions, so in order to avoid polluting the global namespace, use double underscore before your function name. For example, if you are writing a `ninja` plugin using `__ninja.function_name`.
 
-Note that it's still possible to mimic private functions in `fish` by deleting the function before returning using `functions -e function_name`
