        I agree... My meaning was ambiguous. As Jarl suggests I was
interested in destroying the Module definition, but was (stupidly)
considering including this to be associated with KillModule, which in
hindsight is NOT a good idea!

        So yes I do want a way to destry the definition of a Module,
to more easily facilitate dynamic reconfiguration without restarts
