6 years ago For example, if a generator generates a companion object, but there already is one. Or if a generator generates a toString, but there already is one. etc.
I suspect it's better to leave this to the scala compiler to figure out, otherwise we'll probably end up implementing a half-baked, bug ridden typechecker. Incompatibilities like these between generators are also unlikely to resurface once the first bugs are ironed out.

The main one is to ensure there are no namespace collisions.
For example, if a generator generates a companion object, but there already is one.
Or if a generator generates a toString, but there already is one. etc.
Simple, quick validation, that can minimize the need to do a full compile to find problems.
