Thanks for the reminder, I just closed that PR. :) This change would cause a lot of uphevel, a lot of source duplication in the cvs repository, and wouldn't provide any clear benefit, other than making ls(1) a little more orderly in the modules directory.

Nothing gets done around here unless someone who cares does it... someone else already explained why doing this in userland would be a better way to handle it, good luck. :) -- "We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail." - George W.
