Seems agreement to forbid, might be left-over from pre-operator record time.

Proposal: A component of a class derived from ExternalObject shall be seen as its declared variability even if there is nothing explicitly modifying it. Thus: ``` model Normal EO eo=EO();...

Can we use pure for separating non-modifying from modifying use external object? (Both for initialization and later.) Also consider reconstructing them.

Can we get input on the proposed text: A component of a class derived from ExternalObject shall be seen as its declared variability even if there is nothing explicitly modifying...

> I reacted with eyes because I think that the proposed text needs to be accompanied by some semantical restrictions for the use of the external object. For example, shouldn't...

Conclusion from the phone meeting is that ``` model Example EO eo = EO(); parameter Real p = f(eo); // is this binding equation OK? end Example; ``` is currently...
