You can't be serious.  Really.  An _INFINITELY_ clearer statement would
have simply been:

  "A proper_body is not required in the compilation environment for the
   compilation of the corresponding parent_body".

THAT, is an example of "as clear a manner as I can imagine", NOT the
opacity of "chase through several paragraphs and still not say
anything explicit multi-speak" to be found in the RM on this.
