Not disallowed right now. They would generate warnings. At some point we
will disallow it.

Isn't one of the main points of Kranc-generated thorns that you can
easily regenerate them? I would worry more if we would have tens of
hand-written thorns with these.

Good point. However, I don't plan to overhaul the current system right
now. I only want to homogenize it a bit - which in turn should make it
easier later to implement all the changes proposed there.

Specifically: I am only looking into the "factoring out common code"
section, and also not all of that (e.g., I leave building to the
scripts, as this usually needs special treatment for each library).
