I wonder what "all internal and external imports resolved" means here
- you mean included inline? I doubt this will be tremendously useful
nor do I know what that will work with augments and the fact that
definitions live in different namespaces and that for example must and
when expressions are namespace qualified.

I believe there are tools that do semantic diffs based on comparing
schema trees internal to a compiler and that sounds to me more robust
than producing "fully expanded YANG".
