Shroud query

Rob,
A small query:

According to the documentation, and mostly agreeing with practice,
shrouding a file only keeps the globals in the top level file global.
(and please never make any non-optional changes to that! 

If eg I shroud -clear the following:

include file.e
global procedure Current_dir()
	current_dir()
end procedure

Then, agreeing with the docs, the global function current_dir() from
file.e is no longer global, but it includes global integer my_dir (as
it happens unnecessarily, but I'm not worried about that) and leaves
it global in the shrouded file.

This happens in a fair few cases, and I can't see a pattern to it. Is
there some condition causing this I don't know about, is it a bug?

Just curious, more than anything else,

Pete
