In particular: marking modules as default. Can an invisible module

Yes a hidden module can be a default...but you have to explicitly set
it so. I've done that in the past using the soft link approach
(default -> .1.0.0)
I was deliberately using 'invisible' here, to distinct from hidden modules.
Hidden modules, e.g. foo/.1.0.0 are already supported now, and yes, they
can be the default if you marked them.
Invisible modules, e.g. foo/1.0.0 but with Lmod being told not to show
it in "module avail" some way (not supported) yet, are a different
matter. Since they're 'visible' files, the mechanism that picks defaults
has to be aware of which modules are marked invisible.
Also, is registering an invisible module as the default legal? It won't
show up in 'avail', but if you load versionless, you get it? That's very
weird...

Also: what if all modules for a particular software package have
been made invisible?
Then the package does not appear with `module av`, i.e. the same
behaviour as if the directory were empty. This doesn't stop the
package showing up with `module spider` (though I'm of the opinion
that it should unless you specify `--show-hidden`, but I failed to
build a successful PR for that).
Robert was already thinking about this, he may have a better view
on things.

Kenneth
