* TODO (marco): Document that `contextualModule` may also be used as a base for calculating the "package name set", in addition to outsider
* module stuff. (Not sure how deep into detail we should go here, since it's an implementation detail.)
* The [contextualModule] is the module which contains the symbols to be provided, if applicable. The declaration provider may use the
* contextual module to provide declarations differently, such as providing alternative declarations for an outsider module. Some
* functionality such as package set computation may also depend on the contextual module, as the declaration provider may require
* additional information not available in the [scope].
