If you think this is important, then you should feel free to submit
patches to Antti's tree.  Otherwise, this is the sort of optimization
that brings so little value as to not really be worth the engineering
effort.  The time is better spent working on problems that *actually*
have a visible effect to users (and a few extra modules being loaded
does not fall into this category).

I think you'll find after spending a few hours trying to abstract out
the logic and the ugly solution that results that it *really* isn't
worth it.
