(* This module provides the official functions to declare new variables, 
   parameters, constants and inductive types. Using the following functions
   will add the entries in the global environment (module [Global]), will
   register the declarations in the library (module [Lib]) --- so that the
   reset works properly --- and will fill some global tables such as 
   [Nametab] and [Impargs]. *)

(*s [global_reference k id] returns the object corresponding to
    the name [id] in the global environment. It may be a constant, 
    an inductive, a construtor or a variable. It is instanciated
    on the current environment of variables. [Nametab.sp_of_id] is used
    to find the corresponding object. 
    [construct_reference] is a version which looks for variables in a 
    given environment instead of looking in the current global environment. *)
