This should be removed. I have intentionally avoided UI work to prioritize
the foundations.

One way is to simply create a new class, as noted. Perhaps a command in the
browser menu would be useful after all?

Anyway, to access a module object you use

    Module @ path

which is short for 

    Module fromPath: path

which is a variant of

    Module fromPath: path forceCreate: boolean

The short forms don't create a new module, but if you put true in the last
one you create the new module.
