5 I think the logic behind that is that an EAPI defined outside PMS
6 wouldn't be bound by PMS's rules anyway, and the EAPIs defined inside
7 PMS are explicitly listed so there's not much point giving a general
8 syntactic rule as well (and if there was one, it might encourage
9 people to write code that blows up messily when it sees a hypothetical
10 non-PMS EAPI that doesn't obey the rule, rather than simply treating
11 it as unknown).
