The compiler doesn't think, it just gives an error when a unit is not  
found.

Hans-Peter tried putting global variables from all over the compiler  
into a single unit, so it's logical that this makes everything  
dependent on everything (because that single globals unit has to  
import type definitions from all over the compiler).
