Comment(by nomeata):
Hi,
only answering those questions that I can, for the others it is “dunno”
(and partly “duncare” (not to be confused with “duncan”, which if written
capitalized, is a very able one, despite the name)).
Replying to [comment:4 simonpj]:

Yes, this is the core of the issue.

I fully agree; for export-only modules, I have the “user” view, not the
“inside-module view”.
Greetings,
Joachim
