They are the same unless module A gets access to the definition of a procedure
from module B (by recreating it from the type definition if it is a compiler
generated unify or compare procedure or by opt-importing it if it is
a user-defined procedure), and creates its own specialized version.
In that case, the declaring module is module B, but the defining module
is module A.

Same thing.
