The LRM specifies what to do if the name conflicts with an explicitly
declared name, independent of whether the name is explicitly declared
before or after the generate block.  The rule is intended to ensure
that these implicitly generated names never conflict.

From a tool viewpoint, that means they cannot generate these names until
they have seen all the names declared in the scope.
