But, it would have been further enhanced with a definition clause in config.json and also better visualized and easier to document and only in one place (not per file basis). It would have been a nice improvement.

Instead of printing:

• Hint: Unknown global symbol referenced: lang (com.pc.co.join.App:42)

when you know the reason.

• Keep this message as it is when no definition in config.json.
• if a definition in config.json then show only one info message that there is a reference to an external variable.

As already said, please don't cross post stuff from the mailing list!

I don't agree with you that this would be a good enhancement at least not if we should implement it. So I have two opportunities: mark it as wontfix or set it to P5 and never do it... I set it on wontfix.
