Modules break EnableExplicit

The following code breaks EnableExplicit, because it prints the value of a non-defined variable, when SpiderBasic should produce a compiler error
Code: Select all
EnableExplicit
DeclareModule Test
Declare.b moo()
EndDeclareModule
Module Test
Procedure.b moo()
Debug "The value of a : "+Str(a)
EndProcedure
EndModule
Test::moo()

Where is the EnableExplicit for the Module?
Code: Select all
EnableExplicit
DeclareModule Test
EnableExplicit
Declare.b moo()
EndDeclareModule
Module Test
Procedure.b moo()
Debug "The value of a : "+Str(a)
EndProcedure
EndModule
Test::moo()
No bug!

It looks like the EnableExplicit documentation needs updating as I thought it was a totally global command

I have no spiderbasic, but from the purebasic help:
purebasic.chm wrote:When the statements Define, EnableExplicit, EnableASM are used inside a module, they have no effect outside the respective module, and vice versa.

I thought the same - took me while to realise it's not truly global. Caused me a little bit of grief that one

Without this feature, the Namespace of modules is not to be used really sensibly.

Quite true

The idea behind the modules is you can share it and include it in your project asap. If someone wants to write a module without EnableExplicit, he can, and if you include it with EnableExplicit in your code, it will still work.
