Hello,
> Modules can be viewed as standalone collections of classes.
Why to constraint a module to be a collection of classe ? Why about to include instances ? Why not to attach a module to a behavior (one or several process) ?
Smalltalk (and specially Squeak) is different on so many points than other language, I think it could be pity to restrict a module for being a "simple" package (a la Java).
You could answer me : yes but there is project for that. Okay, project works well enought for graphic stuff, but I think we can *really* do more (at least to have something which works :-)

Okay, but I still do not understand how to to export and import a module...
