Now Modula-2 is not my language, but doesn't the language specify that
modules can provide some initialization code, guaranteed to be run if
the module is used?  If you have a module for each library, shouldn't
this initialization code open the library?

C uses a very simple model for where functions come from, so some
neato self-opening libraries would be a pain - if you were using C,
I'd say "tough. get disciplined :-),"  but it seems like something
Modula-2 should do.  Anyone know for sure?
