Yes.... It's the bicycle shed... again :-) Whichever will do. I do think that
the modula-ish export/import is nice. Modula-2's module mechanism is
already very mature so I guess if it's based on it, we are on the right track.
Now that there's Wave, I guess there's no harm and we can start experimenting 
on this.
