Ah, if that is the case, then OK.

I was imagining that module-list may someday would return a list of "struct" instances each of which describes a submodule and has .name and .path fields, or something, instead of just being a "here is the path to the submodule, go look it up yourself" interface. But we are not there (at least not yet--and I am not saying we agreed that we would eventually want to go there)
