Just out of curiosity … have you considered doing this
with the “module contexts” construct, as it exists on A2?

i.e. using file names (microcontroller family name = prefix):

    LPC176x.MCU.Mod   (per convention)
    LPC176x.MCU.rsc     (generated by compiler, used by loader)
    LPC176x.MCU.smb   (generated and used by compiler)

And in the source code:

   MODULE Serial IN LPC176x;
      IMPORT MCU IN LPC176x;

I know they are not part of the Oberon-07 language spec,
but they could be added with very little effort.
