The term "nested modules" is meant to cover both those modules written at
$root level and those nested within other scopes that might (or might not)
be themselves instantiatable.
You probably do not mean that a nested module is implicitly instantiated
where its parent scope is not (somehow) instantiated.
Otherwise Stuart's criticism raises a serious question: how would the nested
module's references to its parent's ports be resolved?
Thus, to the front of your ammended sentence, add "In $root [/name appropriately/]
and in any instantiated module (or interface?), nested modules ..."
