An example of such script would need to be exposed to prove it is really=

possible.

This is not only about modules, this is also about construct in modules.=
  =

And about the interpretation of the result either at compile time or  =

runtime ? A script to automate this task would seems broken all the time=
  =

(the biggest bug of the bug repository).

Only humans can do that (at least at the date this is written)

-- =

* 3 lines of concise statements is readable, 10 pages of concise  =

statements is unreadable ;
* 3 lines of verbose statements may looks unuseful, 10 pages of verbose =
