Of course.

Another reason I forgot to mention is that the deserialization need to do 
merging. It is common in practice that a similar declarations lives in multiple 
module files (e.g., by GMF). Then if the deserialization needs to merge things, 
it is naturally that the deserilizer need to do ODR checks. But if you feel 
like the merging job belongs to Sema too, I think it might not be bad/wrong.
