Sorry, my bad. I was testing this with `-std=c++20` and later switched to `-std=c++17` as this does not have any C++20-related features.
I thought I reran the tests with `-std=c++17` before sending out the patch, but apparently I did not.
The reason why this worked in C++20 mode is that C++20 implies `-fcxx-modules`, which imply `-fmodules-local-submodule-visibility`.
Without the latter flag, all declarations inside the same TU are visible, even when not imported.
I have added `-fmodules-local-submodule-visibility` to the tests and also included a comment explaining why we need it.
While here, also switched to C++14, which seems enough here.

I am not sure about this one, but my understanding of the standard was that no two definitions are allowed if any is attached to a named module.
Am I reading the standard wrong here?
The relevant bits from my perspective are in [[ https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.def.odr#14.3 | {basic.def.odr}p14.3 ]]:
```
For any definable item D with definitions in multiple translation units,
...
- if the definitions in different translation units do not satisfy the following requirements,
the program is ill-formed; a diagnostic is required only if the definable item is attached to a named module and a prior definition is reachable at the point where a later definition occurs.
...
- Each such definition shall not be attached to a named module ([module.unit]).
```
The diagnostic seems to be required by the standard when looking at a declaration in the named module and this example is the other way around here.
However, I don't see why we can't provide a diagnostic in that case too.
