If you are missing it then so am I. File away!

I think the idea was that if it is in the same module then we should
give you the Dec, but if it is in another module then we don't (we only
have the interface file so we don't know what the source code was).

We could also have a flag which means the source /is/ put in the
interface file. I'm not sure how useful that would be, as the bootlibs
would presumably not be compiled with it.


Thanks
Ian
