I installed Spoofax 1.2 in Eclipse 4.4 and played a bit with the demo project. When I tried to remove the module names, I got a code generation error:

    [java] ** Error in definition nabl-def-site:
    [java]    variable 'c-uri1__' used, but not bound
    [java] ** Error in definition nabl-def-site:
    [java]    variable 's-uri1__' used, but not bound

Start.Module = <
  <Definition*; separator="\n\n"> 
>
Definition.Entity = <test>

nabl

binding rules

Module(_) : 
	defines Module "default"

The static name triggers the error.

Definition clauses must be based on variables from the pattern, like

Module(x) : defines Module x

or use an implicit definition instead:

Module(x) : implicitly defines Module "default"

But implicit definitions cannot scope their subterms, if you want scoping as well you have to desugar the Module term and put "default" in there.

Why is the implicitly in the syntax, it seems superfluous because the quotes already indicate a static name. What else does it do besides breaking scoping?

I think this could either be desugared automatically, or there needs to be an error on defines Module "default".
