[Oberon] Should hidden re-imports be able to coexist with identifiers

The following reports a “mult def” error in PO 2013 when compiling M2
MODULE M0;
TYPE T0* = RECORD i: INTEGER END ;
END M0.
MODULE M1;
IMPORT M0;
TYPE T1* = RECORD (M0.T0) j: INTEGER END ;
END M1.
MODULE M2;
IMPORT M1; (*re-imports M0.T0*)
VAR M0: INTEGER; (* <--- "mult def” error message*)
END M2.
In PO2013 this error is reported because the symbol table headed
by topScope *also* contains the re-imported module M0 (which is
a bit unfortunate) -- but ORB.NewObj does not check that fact.
I my mind, M2 should compile with no error message. i.e. hidden
re-imports should be able to coexist with regular identifiers (since
one cannot refer to re-imported objects by name anyway).
Comments?
