This explains the point pretty well.
Two aspects you could (but don't have to) cover:
- Root modules may not remain root modules forever, so it may make sense to prefer toolchain resolution to explicit toolchain repo references even for them.
- A module extension could postprocess the
nameattribute per module, so just having two tags with identical names in different modules doesn't guarantee a collision. However, distinguishing between the two would require caller-dependent macros (e.g. usingnative.module_name), which is pretty complex and best avoided (although something as complex asrules_nixpkgswill probably need it).
