  3) it is a special form of namespace that can't contain anything else than units.
      To contain something else, it must be an unit namespace.

My remark was somewhat compiler specific, but it bleeds through in the IDE
too, since in a Lazarus/FPC project, not all used source must be named in
the project. Stronger, the project doesn't even exist on a "build" level.

I'm no Lazarus expert, but I assume that bleeds through in the IDE. IOW
one can't assume that the project compilation unit list is complete.

I was wrong however to assume that Lazarus doesn't already constantly
monitor filepaths already. I don't know what it does there. I mixed up the compiler
and IDE/codetools POV.
