…MODULE__ This wasn't working, as __MODULE__ is recognized as :var, not as :module in AST. What was needed is to add a special handling of it in `expand_alias` function. Recognizing __MODULE__ as :var, while semantically incorrect, does not seem to be a problem in scope of definition finding. It's not strictly a module either, so to be super-correct, we would need to add a special handling just for it.

Thanks! The fix makes sense to me. I tried a variety of __MODULE__ usages and everything works.

This PR add support for function calls using
__MODULE__special form, like:It was not working, because Forge parses
__MODULE__as{:var, ~c"__MODULE__"}, not as an atom/module. Because of that, a special handling case just for{:var, ~c"__MODULE__"}needed to be added.Recognizing
__MODULE__as:var,while might be semantically incorrect, does not seem to be a problem in scope of definition finding.The PR also adds an additional test, making sure that a popular formula of using
alias __MODULE__in the module is correctly handled by the Engine.
