The p. # 7 in the section «10.1 Module units and purviews» says if it
it is attached to the global module.
So if you have
export module A;
namespace N1
{
int x;
}
or
export module A;
export namespace N1
{
int x;
}
when is the namespace definition N1 attached to the global module (because it has external linkage) or to the purview of the module A?
