One thing is obvious, and that is: some highly vocal people are
pro-module, other equally vocal people are anti-module.

Another thing should also be obvious, but those very vocal people seem
to regard it as unimportant: if three people agree on whether a
specific change to Lua is smart, their collective opinion matters if
and only if their names happen to be Luiz, Roberto and Waldemar.
