But then, aren't those modules something internal to psyntax's workings? And if so, shouldn't they be filtered out from the return value of module-submodules (or not be traversed by the apropos-fold)? As a user of those procedures, i find the appearance of those modules a bit confusing (the only use case in client code i can think of is when using the return value of current-module). Am i missing something? Thanks, jao -- Nature uses as little as possible of anything. -Johannes Kepler, astronomer (1571-1630)
