There is a problem to solve before it: the confusion between modules
(used as namespace units) and compilation units. Supose you have a large
set of string functions, tu split, search for words, replace, and so on.
You want them all in one module, since you do not want to remember that
split_on_char is in String42, but split_on_chars is in String17. But you
do not want that as soon as you use the trivial split_on_char function,
your resulting binary includes all the bloat for KMP word search.
