Comment (by guest):

 As a reminder, igloo suggested the possibility of bundling source
 information in interface files (through an optional flag) so that reify
 could then provide declarations of variables defined in external modules
 (as opposed to only offering Dec information if the variable was defined
 in current module).

 That wouldn't either garantee having access to all variable declarations,
 but certainly would make this feature more attractive.
