These two rules:

@other@
identifier r.i;
position p != r.p;
@@

i@p

@s depends on !other@
identifier r.i;
expression e;
@@

#define i e

The first rule checks for uses that are different than the one in the
MODULE_XXX call.  The second rule only matches the #define if the first
rule fails, ie there are no other uses.
