Correct. The module unit may have a “global module fragment” which is never imported itself.

Agreed, but what can this body (the study group) say more than "your

implementation needs to be unambiguous about what it considers

importable"?



I think having a clear terminology is a starting point. But we'll

definitely need to get into more details than that, including for

things like "when you distribute a library, how do you tell what are

the "importable" headers you ship.



Also, we don't import module units - we never do.



I don't think I understand what you mean. Would you mind clarifying?

I'm pretty sure he wants to say that you import the BMI rather than the module unit as the former is a compilation artefact of the latter.
