If we want this, it would be good to store objects as well as classes/methods
in modules.  For example, say that there is a Wonderland module.  Where would
the bunny come from?  A method to generate the mesh is conceivable, but ugly.
It would be better to have a serialized mesh object that can be understood once
the code from the module is read in.

I think that this would be great, but would add complexity to a problem that
has already shown itself to be difficult enough.  Eventually, it will probably
be far easier to add this feature to Modules than it will be to refactor the
image into modules that can be sequentially filed in.
