     * example from global scope, if they have one). However explicit exports should always be
     * preferred. Implicitly exported object of some name should only be used when there is no
     * explicit export under such <code>globalName</code>. To ensure so the infrastructure first
     * asks all known languages for <code>onlyExplicit</code> symbols and only when none is found,
