Thanks for your suggestion. I still think those should be implemented
by shell functions, but that interface sounds interesting. That seems
to cover most of the cases I raised. However, those are merely
examples I know, and I still think it would be better to leave the
degrees of freedom for module managers.

Maybe I'll attempt a shell-function implementation of this interface.
