A module name has the same structure as a package name, so ModuleElement
has the same shape as PackageElement: each inherits getSimpleName() from
Element, and getQualifiedName() from getQualifiedName() from
QualifiedNameable.

Hello,
The newly introduced ModuleElement has two APIs to get a module's name, namely
getQualifiedName() and getSimpleName(). The JLS, though says a module only has
one name.
"A module name consists of one or more Java identifiers (ยง3.8) separated by "."
tokens."
I also see this in the "JPMS: Modules in the Java Language and JVM":
ModuleName:
Identifier
ModuleName . Identifier
I am not really sure what a qualifier for a module is. In the given example
Module M.N {}
are 'M' and 'N' separate names and if so, what do they denote?
