The original developers of this pattern were looking for uses for
closures[1], *they* didn't call it anything. I don't know when the
name "module pattern" was coined, possibly later when Douglas Crockfor
became aware of the pattern. The first reference I can find to the
module pattern on clj is in September 2007, many years after it was
originally developed.
