I tried something like that briefly and it failed. The trouble is, I
think, that since the engine tries a require it fails on the op test
before it even looks to see if the module is already loaded. If you have
made something work then please show me, no matter how grotty.

I think we should search harder for a solution, but I don't have time
right now. If you want to submit a warning for the docs in a patch we
can get that in.
