    I don't think that the developer needs to understand the process that
    elaboration goes through, with the intermediate steps of resolving
    parameters. The restriction can be stated in a way that just depends
    on the resulting hierarchy. No defparams in the hierarchy under a
    generate can affect a parameter outside that generate. It is a little
    hard to express the concept in English, but the concept itself should
    be easy to understand.
