The problem is -- without a module that we can test against,
it's very likely that changes in process.c or somewhere else
will just break your module again. So you don't really gain
a lot without a sample modules everyone runs.

Don't get me wrong, the interface to me looks really good.
But without having it in a runnable form, it's really hard
to keep it functional.
