This seems to me like a very special case.  I can't think of a real situation like this,
but if we want to address that, what about ExcludeModule "*"?  Or something like
DisableModuleAutodetection...

I simply liked the original Trev's approach with autodetecting everything by default and
still having a chance to add non-standard things using AddModule.  Disabling
autodetection when using AddModule seems too tricky to me.  It is not intuitive at all.

Thanks, Trev, for your work on this.
