Never mind a remote node, I just can't see taking a random bunch of functions from
different modules and stuffing them into another module making any kind of sense.

Consider:
  -module(a).
  ..
  f() -> g().
  g() -> 12.

  -module(b).
  ..
  h() -> g().
  g() -> 34.

Now, "put" a:f/0 and b/h:0 into a new module c.
What happens to g?

The only way I can even begin to make sense of this is to construct
the new module thus:
  -module(c).
  -export([f/0,h/0]).
  f() -> a:f().
  h() -> b:h().
and then to provide *all* of the modules.
