I'm sorry, that would be my fault then. But I think we have already lots
more of these kind of issues, and binary compatibility between 1.7 and
1.8 was lost a long time ago already.


And by the way, I think it is completely ridiculous that getModule did
return Object and not Module, so I'm not eager to change it back just
for this.
