     Why would it not be? Nothing in the BNF for the module contents
     imposes any sort of order on the module_item items, and I can
     find no prose that implies any sort of order. So far as I can
     tell, you can put the port direction declaration anywhere in the
     module, before or after any data type declarations for the port.
     The only requirement I can see is that range specifiers must
     match.
