 ====== Project as a Module Library ======
-Project can be exported as a library usable from other projects. The exported library makes all types (classes, modules, ...) and resources (images, shaders, ...) available for import.

 These libraries are called module lib.

 ===== Structure =====

 ==== Package name ====
-By default, .rgg types are compiled without a package. It makes them all visible from the same pool. However, for ensuring a uniqueness when importing module library, a package name is required during the export. GroIMP will use the given package name as default package during the compilation.

+GroIMP implicitly wraps all references call in the project to be exported as a module library to make them use the resources from the library.
-Indeed, if a project contains a resource with the name "shaderleaf". When exported, the module that use ''setShader(shader("shaderleaf"))'', needs to point as the resource from the module lib. And not a possible "shaderleaf" in a newly opened project.
+Suppose we have a project that contains a resource with the name "shaderleaf". When exported, the module that uses ''setShader(shader("shaderleaf"))'', needs to point at the resource from the module lib, and not at a possible "shaderleaf" in a newly opened project.
 The wrappers force the references to point at ''plg:pkg.Plugin:"shaderleaf"''.
