The compiler doesn't have any way of compiling *nested* sub-modules with
different options.  All modules in a single file must be compiled with
the same options.  If you want to compile different sub-modules with
different options, then you need to put them in a separate file,
i.e. make them "separate sub-modules" rather than "nested sub-modules".
(I'm using the terminology from the Mercury language reference manual here.
Maybe you just meant to say "sub-module" rather than "nested module".)

If you are asking about how to specify different options for
separate sub-modules, the syntax to set the options for a module
named `foo__bar' is as follows:

	MCFLAGS-foo.bar = --no-warn-det-decls-too-lax
