Then augment performs two fundamentally different things - it is not
very clear from sect. 7.15. With the descendant form, it would be IMO
better to pack the augment statement with the uses statement where the
augmented node appears, like this:

   module x { 
     container y {
       uses foo:bar {
       	 augment baz {
         ...
         }
       }
     }
   }

With the absolute form, can the target node be e.g., a container inside
a grouping?
