public class Module

The Module struct is an opaque data structure to represent a [dynamically-loaded module](modules.

html#dynamic-loading-of-modules). It should only be accessed via the following functions.

To ensure correct lock ordering, these functions must not be called from global constructors (for example, those using GCC’s `__attribute__((constructor))` attribute).
