Makes sense. I thought about it when I was changing the code, but I
didn't want to change it too much, so it was the result. But that makes
sense to have the modules better named.

We have been discussing about start/end functions that would check for
leftover modules... maybe should be a good think to implement soon as
we land more tests.
