Navigation using names

Access to a model element by its name is done with namespace-based navigation.

Name objects are:

• Global: sensor, constant, type, group, or operator declaration

• Local: input/output of an operator, a flow defined with var.

Objects can be found in another module, or can be hidden (an input by a local flow for instance).

The get_declaration() function returns:

• The global object (if any) with a given name (either an id, or module::id form), from the ModuleBody and ModuleInterface.

• The object (if any) with a given name (either an id, or module::id form) in the current scope, or in the enclosing scope, possibly reaching the module level, from the Scope.
