I see now.  These primitives assume they will have access to the
source code of the given module, re-expand it, and extract values from
the produced syntax.  I've done it that way for Dracula before, but
for future versions I would prefer not to have to re-expand anything
or assume I have the source code.  If possible, I would like to
associate metadata with the compiled form of the module much like the
module-language syntax property does when produced by the reader.
