A very simple and straightforward idea, I think!

A question: should it be
    -define(foo, ick.ack.uck.foo).
or
    -define(foo, 'ick.ack.uck.foo').?
Seems to me that only in a call context it works without quotes, or maybe I
didn't RTFM :)

As a matter of fact, there is an alternate code loader, where module are not
being mapped to files: Joe's SAE. All modules are tar'ed (or similar) and are
part of the executable.
